There are never enough web frameworks right?I wanted to explore a different fork in the road from an old classic, Knockout, but in a modern context with modern tools.We’re in a very ko.computed-inspired web today: Signals, Runes, Zones, and more. Most modern web view engines use some versions of these things to try to dependency track imperative-looking code.I felt like the missing path from that fork in the road was the rest of Knockout: a binding language focused on orchestrating lots of little observables.Because it is using TSX as its compile time the Developer Experience looks a lot like modern React with hooks. It’s simpler: it’s not a Virtual DOM so components never “re-render”. Just

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
