- leephillips 5y agoThey do rather different things, and they can be used together.
- mands 5y agoYes, we're using them both together in production and they complement each other really well
- recursivedoubts 5y agoAgreed, people are starting to call htmx, alpinejs and tailwindscss the "HAT" stack. They all play well together, and make HTML the primary medium for building your web app again, each satisfying something I am calling Locality of Behavior[1]. A more direct competitor w/ Alpine (although I view it more as a replacement for jQuery, since there is no reactive aspect to it) is https://hyperscript.org https://hyperscript.org. It's a much more speculative project though, for the brave and/or slightly crazy only. [1] - https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/ https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/
- leephillips 5y agoAnd the PETAL stack is Phoenix Elixir TailwindCSS Alpine.js LiveView I imagine that Alpine is going to get big largely because there us so much excitement around LiveView.
