I'm building a #webapp that I've meant to get around to for over a decade. There's still nothing available that is better than I can do with a half-effort, so I'm going for it.

I've got a bunch of work in and it's working very well! It's frontend relies heavily on #jQuery and #jQueryUI. These libraries make easy work of the things I wanted to do, and I'm well familiar with them.

I just now saw they're sunsetting jQuery UI - jQuery mobile is already fully depreciated.

That's a big deal, right?

I can't really find anyone talking about it anywhere - which leads me to believe there might be better tools out there that have superseded jqui? Have I been generation-gapped?

I'd really rather not have to learn yet another UI framework, but I'd also rather do it early days than much later in.

@sb nah don't feel like you have to do that.

Check out web components and component libraries like https://shoelace.style/. If you want a bit more reactivity and some custom elements of your own check out https://lit.dev/

Gives you easy to use components you can just import into a page then use like your regular html. Far closer in spirit to the old ways, and honestly closer to the platform itself.

If you don't need the complexity of a 'modern' single page web app just... don't!
