Frameworkless, Frictionless, Free
summary
Claim: ditching heavy frameworks recovers control and joy by writing small, explicit pieces. Demonstrated techniques include using TypeScript compiler and template literals with tagged templates for safe HTML, driving interactivity with HDMX server endpoints to build a working master‑detail with far less JS, and emitting parametric SQL templates (with TypeScript schema checks) instead of an ORM. Reported wins: about 15x less client code and 10x less persistence plumbing, concrete examples (form validation, master‑detail, safe SQL) that run end to end.
