Real-Time Web Apps with Zero Lines of JavaScript

Wow Adam! I owe you a drink! I have been looking for something like intercooler + sse &#x2F; mercure. What a great example of NoJS!<p>I thought I was stuck with just amp (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;amp.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;amp.dev</a>) as an option. Please ignore the nitpickers saying it is technically not zero lines of js.<p>If the app can be developed without writing js, it can be considered nojs. The list here (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;markapp.io" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;markapp.io</a>) is based on that principle.<p>Please please keep on chronicling your adventures. So many questions but I will take the weekend to explore properly.

So you use JavaScript libraries to avoid writing JavaScript to use a JavaScript browser API?

I think this kind of approach is really underrated. I remember from playing around with Rails that you can do very similar things quite easily.<p>It&#x27;s not a popular approach at the moment, but I do feel like there is validity to it.<p>Kudos for taking the road less travelled.

So this is being done just for the sake of not writing JS?<p>I don&#x27;t see how this will be in any way better or more maintanalbe. Also it means writing more Django&#x2F;Jinja templates.

Less JS is always better, but if you&#x27;re using Intercooler.js, are you really creating an app with &quot;zero lines of JS&quot;?

Very cool Adam.<p>You are officially the worlds expert on using server sent events in intercooler. ;)
