alt Hacker NewsOat – Ultra-lightweight, semantic, zero-dependency HTML UI component library
Comments
The motivating blog post[1] linked from the front page is probably going to generate a more interesting discussion than the framework itself.
As someone who has to deal with both angular and nextjs for different (but overlapping) stacks at work, I find myself increasingly sympathetic to this viewpoint.

Thank you testing this on older browsers before releasing. This is truly an ultra minimal library - https://ibb.co/DDGmLYdg, https://ibb.co/h1WQG3GK
Reminds me of what bootstrap [1] was like around a decade ago. It's gotten quite a bit bloated since then though.
Surprised that none of the comments here are comparing this to Bootstrap.
Seems pretty unresponsive to me. I'm getting at least half a second of delay before the accordion, drop-down, or switch do anything. Chrome on Windows.
My initial reaction was that I have to use this just because of the buzzword density in the title. But after reading up, it looks like the author was pretty successful in moving the bloat from code to announcement title. I'll give this a try!
Amazing! I recently started building something similar for the same reasons, but more out of frustration rather than out of desire. I'll have to give this one a try and see if it fills the need.
Nice job! Clicked tru my obscure mobile firefox and all worked well!
Great work! PicoCSS feels a bit too minimalist at times. This looks like a better balance of lightweight and functional.
This looks very very cool. Will definitely look in to using this for more static internal tools!
The code example doesn't render for me.
This is kind of misleading. It says it's an HTML UI library, then it says HTML + CSS, and then it says it also includes JavaScript. Why is this better than, say, DaisyUI?
This does not even need a LLM skill, just load the whole code up in context, so efficient.
should call it oatmilk for max exposure
Claims no classes but uses data- attributes and also classes (just look at the button example…)
Looks okay, but I don’t see why to use this over something like Marx if all you need is to not have bare browser default styling.
Thank you for this, can’t wait to use. Minimalism at its best.
Use of semantic elements is an interesting take. I'll give it a try.
I love it. We need to see more of this.
Good one. Presentation is good too. Thanks
