Next time, try dropping jQuery, too, and just using vanilla JavaScript. Just for fun. Simple DOM manipulation is now as simple in vanilla JavaScript as jQuery, with the only big advantage jQuery has now is if you're animating. You may find you're not missing much. You'd have to get used to slightly more involved Ajax syntax, unless you can target only new browsers, in which case the `fetch` API is just as convenient as jQuery's Ajax.<p>Heck, if you can can transpile to ES6 or if you're only targeting new browsers, you could probably even drop the Handlebars in factor of template literals without losing too much convenience.
