React UIs without the Hooks? Meet vanilla-fp

Frontend frameworks promise simplicity, but you end up fighting global state and boilerplate. Meet vanilla-fp. It lets you build React-like UIs using nothing but plain JavaScript functions. No hooks, no Redux, zero dependencies. Just convention-based pure functional components. Parents explicitly pass state down the hierarchy, meaning zero hidden magic. You get complete visibility and total control over your app's entire state tree. It's pure, predictable, and simple.
