Ask HN: Weird alternative Front end Frameworks

Yes. All of mine are custom written with Lit, which is pretty close to bare metal web components and definitely not a framework.

Sometimes it's annoying to have to invent standard stuff, like specialized controls for routing or permissions, but the huge advantage is that all of that code works exactly and only as I want it to. I'm not bound by anyone's framework design or ideas about components.

Just FYI, these apps support video game development at a commercial studio. I wrote both the front end website with digital asset trading for players, and the back end portal administration tool in my custom framework environment.

Yeah I use Bindows[0] heavily

I am definitely a fan of HTMX.
