    window['$'] = selector => document.querySelector(selector)
    window['$$'] = selector => Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector))

is really what I want to have

I'm quite fond of a little helper like so:

    createElement({
        className: 'p-2 flex justify-end',
        contents: createElement({
          tag: 'img',
          src: '/os-logo-maps.svg'
        }),
      });

I got the idea from Lea Verou's blissfuljs. When you're creating a bunch of nested elements it comes in handy.

That’s React without the JSX sugar.

The idea is older than react and react contains much more cruft (both wanted and unwanted).

Yes, and?

What's the point of the rest of the code? Looks useless.

Looks difficult. I have no clue what I'm reading there tbh.

It's creating global helper funcs for creating elements. E.g. `a(...)` for an anchor
