Mador debuts 855-byte DOM reactivity

Mador is an approximately 855-byte native ES module that adds fine-grained reactivity to existing DOM through a Proxy-backed state tuple. It tracks dependencies, batches writes, and cleans up bindings without components, templates, a virtual DOM, or a build step.

// ANALYSIS

Mador is a sharp antidote to framework inflation, though its sweet spot is small HTML-first interfaces rather than complex application architecture.

  • `r(selector, update, read)` updates only elements whose tracked state dependencies changed.
  • `w` batches multiple mutations into a single processing cycle.
  • Native ESM, CDN/npm distribution, and zero build requirements make adoption nearly frictionless.
  • The lack of components and lifecycle machinery keeps the runtime tiny but leaves composition, routing, and larger state conventions to developers.
  • Its Proxy-based approach echoes Vue and signals, but Mador’s differentiator is ruthless scope and direct DOM updates.
