Maybe I'm not understanding, but why is this "Turn Markdown into React/Svelte/Vue UI" and not "Turn Markdown into HTML"?

I'm not seeing the value of generating React, Vue or Svelte as opposed to generating DOM components.

It tickled me seeing the streaming example, thinking about how much better HTML deals with streaming

html does not allow for event handling, this allows for secure listening of the events at runtime, which afaik is not possible with html

Modern frontend frameworks wouldn't exist without JS events, not the other way around. You can absolutely do this with vanilla HTML+JS.

I suppose a vanilla js version is possible? I'll need to look into this
