Examples of AMP-like JavaScript approaches?

1 points by room271 ↗ HN
Does anyone know of sites that have copied the AMP approach to JS/perf but not using AMP itself? It seems like the approach is interesting (custom elements with a core managing things). Too, there are good reasons why AMP itself may not be a good choice (e.g. if you need components it doesn't provide). But I'm struggling to find examples. Mostly the talk is just React or other similar libraries, which feel inappropriate for sites with mostly simple behaviour.

Search for JAM stack and static site generators like GatsbyJS, Hugo, Jekyll etc.

Ah thanks. I'll take a look. I'm definitely most interested in the JS side (although I agree static site generators can be great).

To give some more context, I work for a big media company on the main website team. We have a lot of developers contributing to the codebase. So AMP(ish) seems attractive as one way of introducing discipline/preventing an explosion of client-side ad-hoc behaviour over time.
