I think it's pretty cool that the source code is all in a single file called app.js, and it's just doing simple DOM manipulations, no React, no minification, no libraries. I like to think it's just written like that too, a gigantic file that the author just iterates on.

And that's the "magic" that makes it so snappy and fast to load. I built a web-based game just like that and I am confident that my choice not to use any of the "modern web dev stack" is the reason I managed to hit my 60 FPS performance target on an iPhone 6s in 2024.

It's incredibly refreshing to see that you can still build decently complex web apps without a huge swath of JS build tools

Thanks, and yes thats exactly how it happened. I just made it originally for myself and i like my own stuff to be fast. And then over the weekend i thought it could be nice to just publish it (with some win2000 theme over it)
