jsblocks is a JavaScript MV-ish UI framework from 2012, inspired by Knockout, for building everything from simple interfaces to complex single-page applications with server-side rendering. The author explicitly states it is now a showcase of early skills and is no longer actively developed.

Use cases

  • build a single-page application with a knockout-style framework
  • server-side render a javascript ui
  • two-way data binding for web apps
  • study a pre-react javascript ui framework
  • build an mvc-style frontend in vanilla javascript

When to choose

  • maintaining or extending an existing codebase already built with jsblocks
  • studying the history and design of pre-React JavaScript frameworks

When to avoid

  • starting any new project
  • needing long-term support, security updates, or an active community
  • building a modern production web application
