Solarite is a lightweight JavaScript library for building native web components with a focus on minimal DOM updates and no build step. It offers a class-based component model with scoped CSS in light DOM, avoids reactivity systems like signals, and achieves performance close to vanilla JavaScript. The project is interesting for developers seeking a simple, fast alternative to frameworks like Lit, though it requires manual render calls.
