Design Principles
ðŠķ Keep It Light
Life's too short for heavy frameworks. Although Ligheview is not tiny, we try to keep it lean and modular so your apps stay fast.
ð Zero Dependencies
No external dependencies. No supply chain worries. No version conflicts. Just works.
ð No Build Step
Drop in a script tag and go. Instant gratification. Your bundler can take the day off.
ðĻ Your Way
Four syntaxes, one system. Incremental adoption by enhancing just the HTML you want. Pick what feels right. We don't judge.
ð Have Fun
Coding should spark joy. Simple API, clear docs, helpful errors. Built for humans who like to smile.
