Riot is against the current trend of boilerplate and unneeded complexity. We think that a small, powerful API and concise syntax are extremely important things on a client-side library.
Riot brings custom tags to all browsers starting from IE8.A custom tag glues relevant HTML and JavaScript together forming a reusable component. You can roughly think of React + Polymer, but squeezed into 2.5KB. Riot is free, open source and licensed under the MIT License.

The Codrops CSS Reference is an archive containing a list of entries categorized by type: CSS property, CSS function, CSS data type, CSS at-rule and CSS pseudo-classes/selectors/elements. Each entry is an article defining and explaining a CSS property, function, data type, at-rule or pseudo-class/selector/element.
In addition to these five categories, one more category exists: CSS concept. An entry in the CSS Concept category is a complete guide to a specific CSS concept or feature.
CSS concept entries serve as a “global” entry for a group of related properties. For example, Flexbox and Counters are two concepts that have their own entries. Each entry explains what the concept means, what it does, and includes a definition and usage examples of its properties. Each entry has a header that states what category this entry belongs to, and a live search module.

In 1994, two programmers started working on a web browser. Their idea was to make a really fast browser, capable of running on limited hardware, keeping in mind that users are individuals with their own requirements and wishes. Opera was born. Their little piece of software gained traction, Their group grew and a community was created. They stayed close to their users and to their roots. They kept improving their software, based on their users feedback, as well as their own ideas on how to make a great browser.
Fast forward to 2015, the browser they once loved has changed its direction. Sadly, it is no longer serving its community of users and contributors who helped build the browser in the first place. They must make a new browser – Vivaldi. A browser for themselves and a browser for their friends. A browser that is fast, but also a browser that is rich in functionality, highly flexible and puts the user first. A browser that is made for you.

With intercooler you can add AJAX to your application without using client-side models, routing, validation, rendering, factories or dependency injection. In fact, you don’t need to write any javascript at all.
Intercooler is a natural extension of HTML: simple attributes with a familiar syntax are all that is required to add AJAX requests to your application. Intercooler does use javascript to communicate with a server, but the events triggering the requests are described with HTML attributes (or are simply implied) rather than with imperative javascript.
Rather than expecting a JSON response from the server, intercooler expects HTML. This HTML is then loaded into the DOM directly. This is in contrast with Javascript MVC frameworks such as Ember.js or Angular.js, which typically use JSON as a data transport and have much more involved client-side binding and rendering.
