You'd need to re-invent the wheel on so many things.

Flexbox layout? CSS animations? Some custom npm library that I need to use to provide social logins, SDKs to integrate payment gateways? etc etc

If all you want is just a set of UI components, sure. We already have plenty of UI libraries out there.

These days there are many better ways to write low-JS, low-boilerplate code. HTMX for interactivity, UnoCSS for generated CSS on the fly. It's even possible not to bundle your ES6 modules these days, with <script type="importmap">.

That's the point though, not that many people care about the implementation of a democracy, which itself is a form of democratic will (or the lack thereof). The problem with simply "more democracy" is we might end up with these contradictions.

People don't care much about the fine details of the implementation of their governance. In an ideal world, they would have voted in people who'd tear up these "money is speech" laws, but we live in a world where the average Joe only cares and are receptive to catchphrases.


This is what Nix/NixOS would solve..
