  5. Mithril.js

    A JavaScript Framework for Building Brilliant Applications

    Project mention: I Switched from Flutter and Rust to Rust and Egui | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-27

    I really like Mithril.js (https://mithril.js.org/), which is, IMO, as close as it gets to web IMGUI. It looks a lot like React, but rendering happens manually, either on each event or with a manual m.redraw() call.
