Yes, there have been significant improvements since the Show HN post. I put in another seven months of development and refinement.

I have spent over two years figuring out how to solve asynchronous operations in front-end development and provide a unified solution for UI, API loading, animations, state management, and so on. I discovered that it is possible by enhancing the core building blocks which are functions and variables and giving them lifecycles. The result is targets, which also provide unified interface for functions and variables making them equal citizens. Here is an updated version of the framework, available at https://github.com/livetrails/targetjs.

One unified approach for all operations: events handling, API handling, presentation, animation, and more. It is done by providing methods and variable assignment with lifecycles that give them states and the ability to operate autonomously mimicking the behavior of living cells.

Thank you again for the great suggestion! I’ve reflected on it and decided to work on integrating the Web Animations API. Users will be able to choose between using the Web Animations API or more direct DOM manipulation at runtime, selecting their preference in the target itself. Thanks again for the feedback.

Thanks for letting me know. I plan to use the Web Animation API to improve performance. Thanks again for your feedback—it was really helpful.
