On: Building the same app using various web frameworks

[agos]

do you often write stuff and then not touch it for three years?

[apitman → agos]

Unfortunately yes. Usually just on little toy projects though.

A more real recent example is this app at work: https://github.com/iobio/bam.iobio.io

That repo is currently unmodifiable due to dependency deadlock/hell. As an experiment we tried re-implementing it as a vanilla web component app. The experience was immediately so pleasant that we committed to that course. We're almost finished. No regrets.

If you want to compare them side by side:

old: https://bam.iobio.io new: https://bam2.iobio.io

This is a relatively simple app. Just a couple pages and a bunch of d3 charts which we only needed to make simple web component wrappers for.

YMMV.
