Hi,

I'm still using GLinks.

1) https://purecss.io/as a base framework for the CSS
2) LESS to compile the CSS (great for modular building, and also stopping extra "junk" being included on pages when its not needed)
3) Vanilla JS using RequireJS to again, load modular scripts (only what you need, when you need)

I've totally got rid of jQuery as its too damn heavy and a killer for page load times. Back in the prime of jQuery it was good - as it dealt with cross-browser issues. However, now you can do it all easily enough with ES6 syntax and then Babel to create non-ES6 versions (which I include on older browsers, but only if needed)

As you say though - almost all the CMS directory systems around now are based on LSQL features, and the template systems I've found not flexible enough

Cheers
