Demos / Applications

importmaps and webcomponents have made modern Javascript possible without the complexity of modern frameworks. (Much like querySelector() obviated the need for jQuery in ~2010). As a result we're beginning to see developers experiment with using native esmodules in app development and reducing their build to bundling, if at all.

• Three.js Examples - One of the first projects I became aware of with proper importmap/module support was Three.js (this links to their example demos).
• MusicBox[blog] - a 15-note DIY music box, that works just like the mechanical ones.
• image-booth - A multilayered raster image editor.
• submesh-treadmill - A cellular tile loader for games and simulations.
• RUNPKG A package explorer
• Buildless Index - an index of buildless frameworks (not 100% accurate, ex: ember) on gh-pages.

Sites

While the case for Applications viable, the use case for static websites and the drastic reduction in complexity that follows is an obvious choice for modern websites
