steppe-transpiler

library1.0.5jsnpmunverified

An experimental HTML-to-HTML transpiler (v1.0.5) that reduces keystrokes by using short host elements (e.g., 's' for fecund, 'br' for void) where tag names become attributes. Aimed at avoiding external DSLs or parsers. Currently a proof-of-concept with no active development, primarily a design exploration. Differentiators: uses native browser parsing, no dependencies, focuses on QWERTY ergonomics. No releases or updates since initial publish.
