Show HN: DOM99 Simple HTML manipulation for the modern web (opens in new tab)

Well, because Chrome isn't so ES6-compatible as Firefox yet.

I will update the readme to show how to transpile DOM99 to ES5

-Why ES6/ES2015? Because I got used to it before. You can use Babel to transpile to ES5.

- What are the advantages over Knockout? I didn't use Knockout since a long time, it was a source of inspiration, so I can't fully answer this question. DOM99 doesn't tell you to use the Model-View-View Model pattern, but lets you organize your application as you want. This can also be a disadvantage if you are doing it wrong for example.

- Why does it weigh so much if its only ability is two-way data binding? Because you looked at source files that are not minified.

- Why the heck do I need to use Browserify for something that will NEVER EVER run on a server side?! You don't need browserify at all. I wrote the readme a bit too fast and forgot to mention other methods. You can also load it like any normal js file.

Hope I helped, I will update the readme in a few minutes to show how to use it without browserify. If you have other questions just ask.

You should also consider the amount of work(CPU cycles etc.) required to run the software not just the amount of KB to download it. This however a metric that is more difficult to compare and measure.

Understood everything about it, except this:

Could you please calculate what does it weigh minified in ready-to use ES5 state? I'd like to compare it to some other ready libraries and my own solution.
