Vanilla Plus JS

This is the documentation for Vanilla Plus JS. The source code for this documentation is available here.

Vanilla Plus JS is a framework for building fast-to-write, easy-to-understand websites. As the name implies, it's intended to get out of the way; modern HTML, JavaScript, and CSS3 contain nearly everything required to easily build websites. Where they still fall short, this framework comes in to save the day.

python -m venv venv
