Ajdin Imsirovic is a seasoned web developer and passionate educator in the field of programming. He is the creator of UIstate – a minimalistic UI framework that turns the DOM and CSSOM into a built-in reactivity system. By serializing state into CSS custom properties and data attributes, UIstate enables declarative, introspectable interfaces without the need for build tools, virtual DOMs, or framework lock-in. Its architecture evokes a Lisp-like approach to UI design – where structure, behavior, and state are unified into a single, manipulable layer. In UIstate, the DOM is the state, and JavaScript simply bridges state snapshots with the live DOM, rather than owning or abstracting it.
