Unpoly is 50kb, htmx is 15kb.

  Both are small enough for this to not matter. Unpoly also has many more features you’d have to add code for.

    You see more features as better, I see them as unnecessary bloat. HTMX targets users that want easy and minimalist ajax.

      You see unnecessary bloat, I see wheel reinventions. Unpoly gives me almost everything I need for any non trivial app. Same thinking about using Django/Rails/Laravel vs bare bone routers like express, Sinatra or flask. Once you get past the simple landing page or hello world app all those things you call “bloat” come in super handy. Otherwise you end up with a custom undocumented untested unproven probably insecure rushed out implementation of what the “bloated” solution gives you. Same applies for Unpoly vs htmx. Unless you’re building just a hello world landing page, as I said.

        Can you give one example of a feature that is fundamental for web development that is enabled by unpoly and not htmx?
