- bdcravens 2y agoDepends on the startup. I'd say it's probably better suited to a middle ground: the primarily server-rendered application that needs interactivity without committing to a huge build ecosystem. For most personal blogs, even HTMX is probably overkill.
- dphuang2 2y agoA personal blog probably only needs any library besides a markdown to HTML renderer (for the developer-focused) or framework that has a built-in WYSIWYG editor and CMS. From memory, i'm not to sure that a lot of problems that startups solve need a "thick-client" architecture. I think the canonical "thick-client" products are google sheets and google docs-esque products. I could be wrong about the actually distribution on this though. I think the author of HTMX phrased is correctly in that it really depends on where you are providing value—the backend or frontend. That would determine the viability of adopting HTMX.
