alt Hacker NewsThere are many standalone plug-n-play implementations of the signal primitive in JS. To name a few: preact/signals, vue reactivity, etc, there's even a TC39 proposal for a lang feature. Is this meant to stand out by doing things differently or reinvent them?

Honestly, mostly for the fun of building it and seeing how small and simple I could make it. While big solutions like Preact or Vue are great, sometimes you just want a tiny zero-dependency script without the overhead. And it turned out to be quite nice as I may say so
