A TeuxDeux-style todo application built entirely in plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no build steps, serving as a case study on viable vanilla web development patterns. It documents maintainability trade-offs, rendering and reconciliation techniques, and performance benefits compared to framework-based approaches.

Use cases

• learn vanilla javascript web development without frameworks
• study patterns for building web apps with no build step
• compare framework-based vs vanilla frontend performance
• find minimal patterns for dom rendering and reconciliation
• build a todo app in plain html css and javascript
• evaluate whether a project can skip react or a build pipeline

When to choose

• you want to learn or teach framework-free web development techniques
• you need evidence and patterns for shipping a small app without build tooling
• you care about minimal payload size and fast load times

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready todo app with sync, accounts, or mobile apps
• you want a reusable framework or library to drop into a project
• your team prefers the ergonomics of modern frameworks over verbose vanilla code
