Gr8r Studio: Open-Source Project Management Without UI Frameworks

X postTanjimAnnouncement

Tanjim has released Gr8r Studio as open source. The task and project management web app relies strictly on plain JavaScript ES modules and CSS bundled with Vite, avoiding third-party UI runtime dependencies altogether.

Key points

  1. Open-source workspace featuring a dashboard, inbox, and views for boards, lists, tables, calendars, and timelines.
  2. Built without any UI framework using native ES modules, vanilla CSS, and HTML string rendering.
  3. Uses Vite as the bundler alongside a custom subset plugin for Lucide icons.
  4. Layered architecture separates state and actions, employing event delegation via data attributes.

Why it matters

While standard web apps frequently adopt heavy frontend frameworks by default, Gr8r Studio serves as a practical showcase for structuring a full-featured, stateful productivity workspace using only native browser capabilities and clean modular CSS.

Analysis

The architectural approach focuses on explicit data flow: state (S) and actions (A) are strictly partitioned, rendering functions return HTML strings based on current state, and interactions rely on custom data attributes like data-a. This keeps bundle sizes minimal and eliminates framework upgrade overhead.

  • @hexablob @Tanjim38 I'd make export and restore a first-class flow before putting real projects in it. A cleared browser shouldn't get to delete the backlog.
