Hello all,

I am looking for suggestions for libraries to use on my project. It is a personal project, so I’m happy to experiment with lesser known or new libraries.

The application will be a mix of content-focus and client side interactivity (think to-do list with server side persistence).

My current approach is as follows:

  • Server side rendering on NodeJS with a template engine, complemented with client side scripting for interactivity (mostly vanilla JS)
  • Use liquidJS as template engine (any alternatives?)
  • Use fastify as the HTTP / Backend server with @fastify/view plugin for serving liquidJS (and other template engines)
  • use vanilla JS scripts for interactivity and DOM manipulation
  • use vanilla-SWR for data fetching, mutation and persistence on server side. Link: droyson/vanilla-swr

Any other suggestions?

    Looks like a decent setup. Vanilla JS is the way to go for the best performance. Avoids vendor lock-in and those skills never go out of date. 👍
