I know I’ll go to programmer hell for asking this… but… does anyone have a link to a github repo that tried really hard to use jQuery to build their entire website, investing effort into doing some sort of weird ‘jQuery based components’ thing for maintainable, scalable development?
People tell me this can’t be done without turning into terrifying spaghetti code but I dunno I feel sort of like the guy in this xkcd and I just want to know for sure.
Note that this would be a very non-idiomatic way to use jQuery. More typical architectures don’t do client-side templating; they do server-side rendering and client-side incremental mutation.
AFAICT jQuery UI is somsthing like a component library, which is (possibly) a piece of what you might build this out of, but not the thing itself (which is to say, a well functioning, maintainable, complete website).
Although I don’t think it’s really designed to do the sort of thing I’m talking about here.

There’s jquery UI which maybe counts?
