Sinuous is a tiny (~1.4kB gzip), fast, reactive UI library for JavaScript that uses fine-grained DOM operations and observables for automatic view updates. It requires no compile step and supports views written in tagged template literals or hyperscript (h) function calls.

Use cases

• build reactive UI widgets and embeds with a tiny bundle size
• create web app components without a build step
• render performant lists with fine-grained DOM updates
• hydrate pre-rendered static HTML into reactive views
• write declarative UI views in plain JavaScript with tagged templates

When to choose

• you need an extremely small bundle for embeds, widgets, or components
• you want reactive UI updates without a compiler or build tooling
• performance matters and you want fine-grained DOM updates comparable to Solid or Svelte
• you prefer plain JavaScript over JSX and component frameworks

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured framework with routing, forms, and a large ecosystem
• your team relies on JSX and mature tooling like React or Vue
• you need long-term support guarantees - the project has no license file in the repo metadata and modest community size
• you want extensive official add-ons and enterprise-grade documentation
