I'm one of the original creators of You Might Not Need jQuery. Most of the examples still date back to 2014, with modern JS they get much simpler and shorter (the fetch API and async/await help tremendously in the first example cited).


Thanks for your work. OP maybe didn't read the first two paragraphs of YMNNJ, which clearly states:

> jQuery and its cousins are great, and by all means use them if it makes it easier to develop your application.

> If you're developing a library on the other hand, please take a moment to consider if you actually need jQuery as a dependency.
