Where to go next

Pick a different framework

The <ChooChoo> component exists for every supported binding. See each one’s package README for a drop-in example:

• @choo-choo/react
• @choo-choo/vue
• @choo-choo/astro

Without a bundler

Vite is the pragmatic default, but if you want zero dev dependencies you can use an import map plus any static file server. You declare where each bare specifier resolves to, then open the page:

<script type="importmap">
  {
    "imports": {
      "@choo-choo/core": "./node_modules/@choo-choo/core/dist/index.js",
      "@choo-choo/vanilla": "./node_modules/@choo-choo/vanilla/dist/index.js"
    }
  }
</script>
<script type="module" src="./src/main.js"></script>

Then serve the folder (ex. pnpm dlx serve).

This works but is fragile: you have to maintain one entry per transitive dependency and track the internal dist/ path of each package. For anything beyond a throwaway demo, Vite is less friction.
