Show HN: Q.js – Smaller than React/Vue, yet more powerful (40KB gzipped) https://bit.ly/3Vx1zHL

Show HN: Q.js – Smaller than React/Vue, yet more powerful (40KB gzipped) Q.js is a lightweight JS framework that I recently distilled from our in-house Qbix platform that I’ve been building since 2011. It powers many of our social apps, which have all the features of Facebook, LinkedIn, X, etc. We’re not a big company like Google or Meta, so we never released it publicly. Now I’d like to, and thought it would be a good idea to post it on HN and gather some feedback. Q.minimal.js was designed to be dropped into any website. It lazy-loads all your components only as they are needed and appear on the screen. The minimal file is meant as a starting point for developers, and if you later want more features from the Qbix platform, you can simply swap it out for the larger Q.js file instead. Here are some advantages of Q.minimal.js compared to React, Angular, Vue, or whatever you might be using now: 40KB gzipped, smaller than React (without ReactDOM), smaller than Vue runtime, far smaller than Angular No build step, just drop it in; works with plain .html
