What’s your current stack?
Could it be simpler?
Would you dare to try building something this week with just the basics?

Let’s talk.

Vanilla is fast.
Stable.
Freeing.

Start there.
Add complexity only when you really need it.

Be honest:
When was the last time you built something with just HTML/CSS/JS?

No bundler.
No CLI.
No plugins.
Just you and the browser.

The browser is not broken.
You don’t need to wrap everything in abstraction just to build a form or a button.

Write HTML.
Style with CSS.
Sprinkle JS.

Sometimes you don’t need a framework.
You need structure.
You need clarity.
You need to breathe.

Vanilla lets you do that.

It’s just you, the browser, and the web as it was meant to be —
stable, fast, and under your control.

In a world where everything changes every six months, vanilla feels like freedom.

Vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS free you from the constant churn of packages, plugins, and breaking changes.

No build steps.
No dependency hell.
No guessing which version still works.

Frameworks are powerful.
But they come with a price:

- complexity
- dependencies
- mental overhead
- keeping up with churn

HTML, CSS, and JS are still enough.

Not always.
But more often than you think.

Start simple.
Then scale intentionally.

You spin up a new repo.
What’s the first thing you install?

React? Next? Tailwind? Astro?

Wait.
Just wait.
You might not need any of that.
