Dagger.js
TL;DR: dagger.js is a buildless, runtime-only micro-framework that plays nicely with native Web Components. It uses HTML-first directives (e.g. +click, +load) so you can ship a page by dropping a single <script> from a CDN—no bundlers, no compile step. Why I built it Modern stacks are powerful
What is Dagger.js?
Dagger.js is a lightweight, runtime-only micro-framework designed for building web applications with native Web Components. It requires no build tools, bundlers, or compilation step—developers can add a single script tag from a CDN and begin working immediately. The framework uses HTML-first directives (such as +click and +load) to enable interactive functionality directly within markup, allowing developers to write declarative UI without JSX, DSLs, or complex abstractions. It operates purely at runtime with no virtual DOM, keeping applications lightweight and performant. Dagger.js is built for developers who prefer working with plain HTML and native JavaScript while maintaining clean, simple code. It eliminates common friction points in modern web development by removing the need for build configuration, bundling processes, and learning curve-heavy abstractions. The framework is open source and available on GitHub, making it suitable for projects ranging from simple interactive pages to more substantial applications where developers want to avoid tooling complexity. It appeals to those seeking a straightforward alternative to heavier frontend frameworks, while still providing structure and interactivity through its directive-based system.

Yes, another reactive UI framework for JavaScript. Bear with me, please... :-) I 'invented' the concept for this back in 2011, and it was used (as a proprietary lib) in various startups. Even though many similar open source libs have been released since, and boy have I tried a lot of the

Hey HN! I’m Simone. We re-built Breadboard, a visual app builder that mixes Figma-style UI design with Shortcuts-style logic so you can build, preview, and publish interactive web apps directly from the canvas. What it does Design UIs visually with a flexible canvas –like Figma–. Define ap
