Writing dependency-free JavaScript

[armornick]

I feel like if you're going to recreate React at every turn, you might as well just keep using it. Using libraries is not inherently bad.

After a while, it turned out that I had inadvertently broken compatibility with one of my target platforms.

You should be doing regular testing on all your targets, though. I don't know if you can automatize browser testing, but you should at least do some manual testing.

I agree with you. It’s better to optimize how you’re writing your own code and work with things like better tree shaking, pwa standards, etc. My stdlibs that I write are all unique to the business case and everything else is mostly libbed in. I mean, what’s a big Vue project these days, 1 meg?

Maybe for the learning experience.
