This is cool! A bit ago I was thinking of building a jQuery like mini framework to make building plain HTML/CSS/JS sites a bit less painful, but I never did as my focus shifted to building a framework itself.

The code looks ingenious, was it hand golfed?


I hate to tell you but it is probably shite.

...
shite? lol

Shite is an English word (as in used in the UK in parts of England, not English the language 🤣) same as it is without the "e" but less offensive!

Yes ki.js was originally for code golf from what I gather, another reason why it isn't ideal for production (so for example I added a few tweaks to make it usable in the real world.)
