Show HN: Handcrafted HTML-first framework that outperforms React

Hi, I built an hancrafted HTML-first JavaScript framework called Places.js that outperforms React, Svelte, Lit, and Vue.

- Components are created with HTML-first templating, which allows for flexibility in how HTML is generated.

- No build step. Places.js can be downloaded from a CDN and directly added to a project.

- JavaScript enhanced web components that can be dynamically rendered with API endpoint data.

- Rendering agnostic stores that can be integrated with other frameworks.

To test Places.js,download the latest version from JSDelivr:https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/createthirdplaces/[email protected]....

Here is a reference guide: https://createthirdplaces.org/tech/placesjs/reference/presen...
