Replace React with something simple

[adeebshihadeh]

Replace next/react/etc with a simpler stack. This will be a try-out for comma connect's next framework.

We care about simplicity, brevity, and performance. Some contenders:

• https://www.solidjs.com/
• https://svelte.dev/

Nice site with benchmarks of a bunch of frameworks: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.html

EDIT: Some more context on what we're looking for:

I just wrote comma.ai/leaderboard. It loads instantly; you click refresh and don't even see it load. It has a defined JS-less experience and only uses JS where absolutely necessary. I simply started with vi leaderboard.html and got to work.

It was a joy to write, but there were a few pain points:

• preview was slow to refresh
• integrating it with webpack and the rest of the build system
• development vs production (minified version stripped out some spacing)

Can you check https://github.com/commaai/flash/pull/43 ?

[adeebshihadeh]

Can you check #43 ?

I updated the description with some more info. Is #43 a step towards that?

I think so, the page loads without any js

I'd like to mention that Astro might be the better fit https://astro.build since it's targeted for content heavy website with slight interactivity , default zero js, and support incrementally adding any js framework component. I don't want to step on anyone's toes though, not sure if this is already locked to anything

@adeebshihadeh, I submitted #50 to demonstrate the same performance as comma.ai/leaderboard while remaining as React

@adeebshihadeh I have mostly migrated this to plain Typescript + HTML but I had a doubt. Is this still using android-fastboot? Saw some previous issues regarding moving away from fastboot to QDL
