Ask HN: No JavaScript web UI framework?

• fastball 3y ago
  Without Javascript, a "web UI framework" is effectively just a CSS framework.

    Yeah, it's what early bootstrap was. Html "components" with accompanying CSS, as well as more utility CSS akin to tailwind without all the fluff.

  I've enjoyed bulma in the past: [1] https://bulma.io https://bulma.io There are a bunch of others I haven't used in a long time: [2] https://getbootstrap.com https://getbootstrap.com [3] https://get.foundation https://get.foundation Many people also like tailwind, but it's very opinionated: [4] https://tailwindui.com https://tailwindui.com

    +1 for Bulma. I'm a backend developer but when I was introduced to Bulma I finally felt like I could make a not completely ugly frontend to get something simple done.

  If you are new to development, I advise you to do not to use any framework, give time to yourself use vanilla CSS and JavaScript so you will learn them the right way. I know some people who can't differentiate between Tailwind classes and HTML/CSS, they was thinking that Tailwind is CSS because they directly started learning it first, that's not the right way in my opinion.
