Yes, we are building the future of the web at Yaka Labs. We've been on a mission to rescue the internet from bloated legacy libraries since we pushed our very first commit — and we haven't stopped since. We've focused on making the web faster, interactive, and fun for the next generation of developers. 🤯 We are proud to prove that a small team can lead a movement that makes even the industry "Grandpas" take notice. 🦁 We are part of a global shift toward performance-first software.

The open-source spirit is the 💗 heart of Yaka Labs and fundamental to how we build YakaJS today. See for yourself:

• YakaJS has helped developers shed over 400KB of legacy plugin bloat in exchange for a 151KB all-in-one powerhouse 🚀
• Our community is proving that you don't need decades of experience to create tools that impact the ecosystem 🎸
• Every minute a developer realizes that modern Vanilla JS APIs are better than 15-year-old wrappers 🏄

Now that we are talking about the important things, ☝️ are you still using legacy jQuery in 2026? Yes? It's okay, we can help you get started with the Underscore ( _ ) Magic! Open source is built by people just like you. Learn more about how to contribute to Yaka.

We contribute to the tools 🔧 we rely on to build and run Yaka Labs, while also maintaining 🧙‍♂️ our own open source projects like:

• YakaJS - The blazing-fast, lightweight library that makes legacy code cry
• Yaka UI - A modern design system for fast interfaces
• Yaka CLI - Coming Soon 🔧
• Yaka Documentation - Readable, modern docs for the bold

See what's next on our public roadmap ✨ and let us know if you have any suggestions. 🙇‍♂️ Oh, and by the way, we are always looking for passionate developers to join our labs. 🙌
