False dichotomy. Your only options aren't HTMX or React/Vue/Svelte when web standards like custom elements have been here for years, are smaller, faster, and work with all your browsers (including the ones on your phone).

Love Lit. I've pushed hard for Web Components at work for a while now with some success (the shine is definitely coming off of Angular for a lot of people there) and I've only used Lit to build my personal projects for a long time.
I love it when I visit one of my pages and use Lighthouse to check it out and have nearly straight across 100 scores. Also, I usually have really great performance on phones as well because the pages are so light and quick to render.

This telescope and its mission to catch changes in the sky over time is going to help discover so many things.
JohnMunsch commented on Ask HN: What Is Your Take on Stephen Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science"? · Posted by u/yu3zhou4
It’s not science.
After two decades, zero predictions of any phenomena in nature. Please correct me if I’m mistaken.
Performing a calculation that produces patterns that sort of resemble some natural forms is not a prediction of anything.
Yes, this. I read it back when it came back and while it drew many parallels between computed systems with very few rules and real world phenomena, it never really did more than show examples and say, "Look, look how similar this is, this could be a thing, right?"
It was interesting and one of the best explorations of automata that I've seen, but I don't think anyone could draw any conclusions from it.

Have you tried Stencil (https://stenciljs.com)?
Not yet, but I may give it a try. The JSX this is as off-putting as a case of leprosy though. The idea that React needed to invent something new that wasn't JavaScript was absolutely terrible.

I don't want to poop all over someone else's project (hell, it's hard as hell to do anything like this), but I have to say that this feels like exactly what you said, a React/Vue/etc. alternative. But that is absolutely not what I want and not what I think will do people the most good in the long run.
Another project that largely ignores that custom elements and Shadow DOM are readily available on every modern browser (including the ones on your phone) and instead chooses to "simulate" components instead is... short sighted.
I crave something that attempts to fill in the missing pieces between something like say Angular and Lit. Give me something that treats a Web Component as its underlying tech for components but offers good support for animation. Something that comes with simple support for migrations (Ala Ruby on Rails) but doesn't include a ton of tooling for CSS that is not really needed anymore (I'm looking at you React) or was created before JS Modules and is still not making good use of them (ahem... Angular).
So, if someone is still stuck in React land, maybe this will be what they are looking for, but for someone keen to use what is built into modern browsers for speed and smaller apps, this seems like something we should pass on.
If this were my project I think I would provide some reassurances that the site doesn't keep records of project names or results and that none of it will be used to register accounts.
Several domain search websites over the years have been credibly accused of using info gleaned from searches to pre-register domains and accounts in order to take advantage of user's information.
Did you also deal with the Safari margin issues? I can't make a proper DIN 5008 template because of it.
In the Mac printer settings under Safari the user can uncheck "Print headers and footers" manually and that's almost sufficient for me.
For reasons I've struggled with debugging, it wants to print a second blank page after the first one. As long as the user skips the second sheet everything looks OK for Safari for my app.
Wow! This is just bl**dy brilliant. I needed this. I love scribbling and think by writing a lot. I even made an Affinity Publisher template but I knew that was using a sledgehammer to kill a fly.
Is this source open? Can I tinker with it?

Of course it is my friend, of course it is :)
https://github.com/JohnMunsch/PaperQuik.com
Note: It should be very easy to work on if you know JS. It's a handful of very simple Web Components and the SVG paper generation code. I did my best to have nice clean code for all of it.

I still take notes on paper sometimes and most "paper" sites are just a bunch of pre-created PDF files. Mine creates a SVG on the fly and then can print it out from the page.
While I really loved creating it and still use it myself, I wish printer support in the browsers was better. I don't have to deal with garbage like IE anymore, but nobody gives me a chance to remove automatic margins and stuff that gets printed in those margins. I can tell the user to do it manually, but much better would be a chance to prompt the user and offer to remove all of that if they OK it.
