I find that Svelte is the most "jQuery-friendly" of the frameworks. I can easily add a single Svelte component back into other wise static pages without requiring anything other than a simple build tool to output the JS + css. It's really the best of both worlds – sprinkle it in where needed, or go whole-hog.

Yeah, I really like Svelte for this. I did a whole blog post this way, with little embedded animations to show various operations on linked lists. Each of the animations is a Svelte component, but the surrounding page is just a static HTML page created from Markdown (using Jekyll as the generator).

It's nice that Svelte components can be independently mounted like that.

Right click > View Page Source, and scroll to the bottom to see how all the Svelte components are mounted: https://daveceddia.com/linked-lists-javascript/

To be fair, the same thing would be possible with React or the other frameworks. I do like that it's only 29kb of JS for all those animations though (and most of that is the SVGs, I think).
