I've used this for building the browser extensions for my app [1].

It is simple, easy to understand and easy to reason with. However, I would recommend this only for small apps. As soon as your app's features/complexity increases, you end up writing a lot of biolerplate code that libraries like Vue or Preact already handle you for.

I haven't used Hyper but I'm looking for something to use for a browser extension I'm making.

I'd love to hear what kind of boilerplate you had to write that Vue or Preact handle. It can be hard to see these gaps ahead of time so I'd appreciate the benefit of your experience.

Curious to hear what boilerplate you think Vue or Preact already handles for you.

Your open source browser extension framework was really helpful to me a few years ago!

Glad you found it useful.

I had sort of neglected it for a while, but during the course of the lockdown, I have started working on a major rewrite - replacing Gulp with Webpack, adding support for Edge, etc. Will release it soon :)
