Android Oreo fucks up the good work happening in Progressive Web Apps.
Apple, the world largest bond and derivatives fund, is still hopeless of course but Google, the world’s largest advertising and AI surveillance company, doesn’t care enough either.
Andrea Giammarchi talks about hyperHTML on the Web Platform Podcast.
It might take a while for it to sink in what he’s talking about here but basically he’s saying that a simple use of standard JavaScript can match and outperform virtual dom based frameworks such as React and Vuejs. His hyperHtml library is only 4K and works in all browsers going back to IE 9.
It’s notable that Google has just announced their own experimental system (lit-Html) which copies seems to match the hyperHTML pattern closely. The difference is that it’s no where near production-ready while Giammarchi’s is.

Facebook is evil. It’s much more evil than even Microsoft during its most evil phase. So if you want to prosper as an independent startup, do not under any circumstances build it with a Facebook product. That means of course REACT. Don’t build with it.
Use something else that doesn’t have the baggage and is genuinely open source. Use something like Cycle.js, Preact, Vue.js, Svelte or hyperHTML
Fucking fucks. It took these idiots a hundred years to work out but the automobile is now the tool of choice of terrorists. The only lesson here is that cities are going to need to change to adapt.
