Okay #frontend folks:

I wrote UIs before React. I leaned into React hard early on, because it matched my mental model for UIs. I don't want to do React anymore.

**In your opinion what's the next best direction for building UIs?**

My goal is to simplify the process of writing and managing accessible interactive components with as little overhead as possible.

Boosts and wildly unpopular opinions welcome.

#react #vue #preact #webcomponents #svelte

@ryan ignoring AI threat, I kinda enjoy old react, with just a few hooks. If I had the choice then something without dollar sign syntax. But also Elm was interesting and RxJS back in the days
@asci I suppose "react, just don't use any of the nonsense" is still on the table
@ryan check out web components with lit and lit/signals for reactive data. Simple, controllable, easy to understand components and state.
@ryan For me, I enjoy vanilla Web Components. And I do so in personal projects.
@ryan I've been enjoying Svelte!
