Ask HN: Is there a space for another JavaScript framework?

3 points

5 years ago

Recently working on my own framework https://github.com/DanielMazurkiewicz/hussar. (this is at the stage of "working concept" of "work in progress" and when there will come a time, I'll do "Show HN" instead of "Ask HN" :-) )

Took a bit different approach to the topic of Javascript frameworks. First of all want to keep a final code close to smallest possible and second of all wanted to do everything in javascript itself (no separate CSS nor HTML) - which is also partially a result of first requirement. That way minifier can also mangle names of html tags, attributes, events and with some additional tweaks also object properties. I'm also avoiding using "classes" as it is hard for tree shaking based minification optimizations.

I do it in general for my own purposes, but there is also a main question (in the title), and couple of side ones that I want to ask here:

1. Money - is there any money I can get from it (project is open source and MIT licensed) and if so then how and how much potentially?

2. How to attract potential contributors/how to find them?

Thx in advance for help/and or discussion!
