Hi everyone, the other day I was here cause I thought I came up with a neat way of creating HTML via JavaScript [1] - After some iterations, I'm quite content with the code I wrote. Since I intend to use this in my personal projects, I thought others might as well.
One of the comments the other day was "You have reinvented Hyperscript".
In case you didn't see it, they meant this [0] and also this [1].
I don't mean this as a critique or dismissal of your idea, but I think it's fair to prefer Hyperscript since it's well tested code and has a couple of additional features (like event handler support) without being much larger than your own code. Also, I think Hyperscript is more correct in the way they build the elements.
One thing it got wrong is that TinyJS can handle events, you can just pass a onclick property via props and it will work `div({onclick: () => alert(1)}, 'click me')`
I haven't. I tried googling Hyperscript and other stuff came up. Seeing it now I'm glad I end up having the ideia of registering each tag as a function, I think it reads better. (Editing) I'm now seeing your second link, it is quite similar to what I've created. Haven't looked at the source code yet.

Ok, now that I've looked at both sources, I asked ChatGPT to drawn a comparison between the projects.
