I have huge respect for Douglas and what he’s done for the Web, but this is a bit tone deaf to developer needs.

No, you should *probably* not build a medium or larger web app today by “just” using the DOM directly or with thin abstractions like the one he proposes. Either you will wind up with a tightly coupled mess of a codebase or you will re-invent a lot of the concepts libraries and frameworks have spent years perfecting.

The primary hurdle with using the DOM directly is not node creation (that indeed only needs a pretty thin abstraction to become palatable), it’s handling model updates.

There are two avenues for updating the UI when using the DOM directly:

1. You naively overwrite the entire subtree that encompasses the nodes you actually need to update. Lots of problems with this: loss of user state, performance, tight couplings.

2. You use targeted DOM methods to update the specific attributes, text nodes, and properties you need. This is less destructive and generally faster, but it has several downsides. First, it also requires tight couplings across the entire codebase. Second, small increases in use case complexity require large increases in code complexity and size (even something as simple as two different controls that need to change different parts of the same attribute is nontrivial).

The whole point of React, Lit, and many other libraries was to combine the DX of (1) with the performance of (2). Other frameworks like Vue use reactivity to improve on the DX of both.

The raw DOM is fine for content-heavy sites that only need very little DOM update code. Even if they are large content-heavy sites. But web apps are a different story.

I WANT a future in which frameworks and libraries are not as necessary for building nontrivial web apps. But to get there, we need a higher abstraction over the DOM, not to gaslight developers that they’re doing it wrong.

Quando avete tempo, possiamo anche discutere del fatto che il Garante NON ha affatto bloccato ChatGPT, né ha mai deciso che in Italia vada bloccata l’intelligenza artificiale né sistemi di LLM come ChatGPT. Discutiamo da tre giorni di una allucinazione collettiva. THREAD 👇🏼

It's been more than two years since @natecavanaugh passed away. I never met anyone that can keep up conversations like this guy. I miss you, my friend.

Ferragni e fascisti vari urlano una settimana che Milano è più insicura (contraddicendo tutti i dati disponibili) e Beppe Sala butta via 100.000 euro per delle telecamere a riconoscimento facciale che sono illegali in Italia e che diversi comuni hanno già dovuto spegnere🤦‍♂️

@Ridderingand *top 1px padding

[Pier Paolo Ramon @_pier]

@Ridderingand Add an internal 1x1px frame with nothing inside. Add a top 10x padding to all other elements. Reduce by 1px (even go negative if necessary) the vertical distance between the input and other part.
Problem solved. And bad inspection numbers for developers, but hey 🤷‍♂️

@dan_abramov This would give a better experience on search UIs where intermediate states create an easier transition from a wider set of items to a narrower.
Generally this could become a point in favor of a more mature data fetching library or framework.

[Pier Paolo Ramon @_pier]

@dan_abramov About stale requests: the proposed solution (only keep the latest request’s response) has a potentially suboptimal UX. Since we are not cancelling the request we could also apply the intermediate response but only if you add some sort of request order tracking.

[Pier Paolo Ramon @_pier]

@dan_abramov @devongovett @sebmarkbage @tolmasky @frontstuff_io It’s a complex topic, and requires a non trivial amount of investment to think through it. Is it worth of an RFC?

[Pier Paolo Ramon @_pier]

@dan_abramov @devongovett @sebmarkbage @tolmasky @frontstuff_io I still thinks there’s an hidden API somewhere that could solve both this use case and slotted components (for layouts and such). Something similar to a component that collects deep items from the children tree and then passes them to a render func.
