The vanilla way

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Claims a concrete recipe: mixes web standards, modern frontend patterns and functional programming to build vanilla JS apps. Shows custom elements, functional components, and observables/streams in working demos: a Whack‑a‑Mole game (initially buggy until state moves into the DOM) and a keyboard‑driven presentation with tests. Explains tradeoffs (bundle size, server rendering, performance) and tools used, gives polyfill strategy and links, and demonstrates what is implemented and what actually works.
