That said, µJS and Datastar have quite different philosophies. µJS is a lightweight AJAX navigation library (~5 KB); it intercepts links and forms, swaps fragments, and stays out of your way. There's no client-side state: your server renders HTML, µJS delivers it.

Datastar is more of a reactive hypermedia framework. It brings client-side signals (reactive state in HTML attributes, à la Alpine.js) and uses SSE as its primary transport: the server pushes updates rather than the client fetching them. It's a different mental model: Datastar manages state and reactivity, while µJS is purely about navigation and content replacement.

Both are small, zero-build-step, and attribute-driven, so the comparison is definitely interesting. I'll look into adding it!
