OR IS IT?

I used React/Vue/Angular, hated them all, especially the NPM install needs. The depencies are a disasted.
So, I dug into what's needed to build a SPA 'framework/library'
I made taino.netlify.app/

It's 1 script, no npm install needed [i recommend using live-server just to run it as it updates soon as you make changes]
It's 13KB uncompressed, 3kb compressed via netlify.

To see if it could be used to make a full scale website, I made indiegameshowcase.org as a proof-of-concept-turned-actual-product website.

If you know JavaScript you can write Taino. It takes an experienced dev maybe 2 hours to pick it up, junior devs need a bit more hand holding.
