Show Notes

On this episode we have the author of Alpine.js, Caleb Porzio, on to discuss his very lightweight JavaScript library that just might be exactly what you need.

We talk about whether the world really needs another JavaScript library, and how Alpine was born out of Caleb’s experience of using Vue.js extensively for years in building application. We’re also joined by Keyur Shah from Paperandmore.com who adopted Alpine.js for his website build, and we discuss how it helped him make it happen.

We venture off into a tangential but really relevant discussion of the state of web development today, and how using “as little as you can for as long as you can” is still quite a good way to go.
