Show HN: Vertex.js – A 1kloc SPA Framework

https://lukeb42.github.io/vertex-manual.html
13•LukeB42•4h ago
Vertex is a 1kloc SPA framework containing everything you need from React, Ractive-Load and jQuery while still being jQuery-compatible.

vertex.js is a single, self-contained file with no build step and no dependencies.

Also exhibits the curious quality of being faster than over a decade of engineering at Facebook in some cases: https://files.catbox.moe/sqei0d.png

I was going to say that font is unreadable, but its Courier New.

By my own extensive testing[1], it's optimal at minimum 18px, you're at 13.5px.

Beauty /is/ in the eye of the beholder. The rationale /here/ is that the more text in a page the more code you'll fit in your head the more you'll get done, the more confidence you'll have and again the more you'll achieve.

Zero code is in your head if you can't read it.

The predominant monitor in existence is your average 24" 1080p monitor, sat at, on average, 32" away from the head. The average person has worse than 20/20 vision.

You must test your website in such conditions and make sure it is readable, and also make sure it meets at minimum WCAG A, but preferably the whole way to AAA if possible.

LukeB42•39m ago
Thank you but the predominant monitor's probably a smartphone. The average professional is probably using a 4k monitor at the moment.

Everything in the free documentation I've provided you out of my own time and money that you're referring to exists in relation to the other elements in that page, so to get the experience you're after simply ctrl+scroll and change the CSS zoom level like the riot at parties that you could be or catch up with circa 2013-2014 and invest in a 4k display please.

turtlebits•7m ago
OP has a valid point. On my Mac, it's unreadable without zooming in. I immediately left the page.

1kloc is a bit abstract ; it seems you are in a great position to give a true bundled weight ; preact is about 3kb which is my fav for years - good job for the effort and results !
LukeB42•45m ago
9kb (minifier+brotli)

We could remove 3kb by removing the router but that's not gonna happen. You're more than welcome to minify+brotli it yourself if you use vertex.js in production.

Huh, interesting... why have both React components and Mustache-style templates in the same framework? They perform the same function?

What's the use case for mixing them?

LukeB42•28m ago
React components might eventually be removed in favor of making the templating system as fast and as elegant as possible but for the time being they provide flexibility.

You can read https://lukeb42.github.io/vertex-interop.html for more info.
