I don't think that "scale" is the right axis, but rather the amount of interdependence in your UI.
htmx would probably work great for something like GMail, but would be a bad choice for something like Google Sheets. Both are big apps, but one is more amenable to coarse grain HTTP requests because the UI isn't as interdependent.

- recursivedoubts 4y agoYep, but the total dependency area there is relatively small and focused. Compare with something like a general spreadsheet, with any number of cells that need updating based on formulas entered in them. That's just not an application that is going to be amenable to a hypermedia approach.
