Show HN: I built yawdl a tiny language that compiles in the browser

I wanted a way to make websites without using a massive framework, so I built yawdl. It uses Ohm.js to parse a custom syntax (like UI { } and Script { }) and compiles everything directly in the browser.

It's basically a Single Page Application (SPA) engine that doesn't need a server. You just write .yawdl files and the engine handles the routing and metadata.

It’s still pretty unstable and finicky, but I’ve been using it for my own blog and it's actually kind of fun to use. It's built with Bun and Ohm.js.

I'd love to know what people think or if the compiler breaks on your system.
