I'm already looking at a v2 implementation as some others have correctly pointed this out. Since I'm already relying on customElements and web components, I should make that first class and change the framework implementations into thin wrappers. V2 will be pure js custom elements which can fall back to native html. wrappers will be even more lightweight. Hopefully this design is a strict win

Custom elements/web components are just another layer of abstraction, and I'm also wondering "V2 will be pure js custom elements which can fall back to native html" how would you fall back to native html? custom elements depends on javascript, it's end game otherwise, you could setup some fallback markup but with no interaction

Yes fallback markup is what I meant, and yes, it would not be super useful if JS is entirely disabled. I figured custom elements would be good since they can encapsulate state and styling, allowing for slightly more sophisticated behaviour compared to raw dom elements
