So it is just like JavaScript

I saw this thing being advertised on HackerNews or some such similar thing. After checking it out, it was just a blatant lie and more than that, it is just trying to sell JavaScript and HTML as they are intended on being used as if they thought of this. The library/product in question is this.

Why does it even exist

I am having a hard time figuring out why this even exists as being a thing. It sounds like someone is thinking highly of themselves and go this thing I thought of that nobody has done before needs to be shared with the world and it will make me famous. Then it is something that not only already existed but is used globally and it is the exact same idea that already exists but now somehow transformed into their own idea.

It claims to transform a regular html site into a realtime application by loading in some JavaScript.

That is exactly what JavaScript already does. Not only that, it is apparently realtime, which I think is definitely misused here.

I just do not like these frameworks that try to claim they are superior and did something amazing, where in reality they did nothing really.

Something impressive

If you want to make something truly impressive, use the basic tools that are there and build upon it. Like using construction materials and tools to create a doll house for example. Not try and sell to people see this wood and tools, it can turn any room into one filled with a dollhouse, you just have to create it.
