Handcrafted HTML-first framework that outperforms React

About

Hi, I built an hancrafted HTML-first JavaScript framework called Places.js that outperforms React, Svelte, Lit, and Vue. - Components are created with HTML-first templating, which allows for flexibility in how HTML is generated. - No build step. Places.js can be downloaded from a CDN and directly added to a project. - JavaScript enhanced web components that can be dynamically rendered with API endpoint data. - Rendering agnostic stores that can be integrated with other frameworks. To test Places.js,download the latest version from JSDelivr: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/createthirdplaces/places-js@0.1.... Here is a reference guide: https://createthirdplaces.org/tech/placesjs/reference/presen...
