Interesting! I agree with the author that React is overused. Especially for an integration-widget product like Waitlist, where performance and predictability are most important, it makes a ton of sense to just drop straight down into pure HTML/CSS/JS and work directly with the browser API. No more crazy polyfills, ha!


Preact is a good fit for that with just some 3kb of size and almost no porting effort
