  Yes, that is exactly my point! I think the lack of real world examples of large HTMX projects is a little telling. But it might just be large projects usually happen in large companies where you aren't necessarily allowed to disclose project details to the community. Again, I think at this stage the best way to determine if HTMX is a viable option for large projects is to try and ideally share your insights. To be honest I am looking forward to the day when we can put all the HTMX/React whatever debates to rest and it will just be another great tool amongst other tools.

    to be fair unless you are doing a complete rewrite it doenst make much sense to swap frontend. I bet we will see later this year htmx getting used because of people getting confortable with it

      htmx’s growth trajectory isn’t as steep as you’re making out with that expectation. I remember seeing conference talks about it ages ago. It’s ostensibly getting more interest now sure, if not legitimate adoption, but it does feel like more of the early starters would have something to share by now. For the record, I hope that it succeeds.

        finished a close second behind react and ahead of svelte, vue, vue2, vue + vue2, angular, solidjs, quick: https://star-history.com/#bigskysoftware/htmx&bigskysoftware/_hyperscript&Date https://star-history.com/#bigskysoftware/htmx&bigskysoftware... idk what a steep growth trajectory is to you, but this has felt pretty steep to me: https://star-history.com/#bigskysoftware/htmx&bigskysoftware/_hyperscript&Date https://star-history.com/#bigskysoftware/htmx&bigskysoftware...

            sure, but click "align timelines" and then consider I'm a one man shop in montana, and facebook is, well, facebook: https://star-history.com/#bigskysoftware/htmx&facebook/react&Timeline https://star-history.com/#bigskysoftware/htmx&facebook/react... not saying htmx is gonna replace react any time soon, but c'mon, it finished #2 right behind react in rising stars, that's pretty good

              Its awesome, makes you wanna write actual webapps instead of using the backend just for db queries

  >The effort took about 2 months (with a 21K LOC code base, mostly JavaScript) That isn't a very large codebase for frontend, I'd expect one person to be able to do that in less than one month if they're actually trying.
