I agree that Next is too big and you might as well just render it server side, but my question is, if you’re using HTMX, aren’t there substantial costs to the server side rendering that you’re doing, compared to sending lighter JSON and letting the client handle it? Also, "We lost the pro of not spending with servers, now we need a server to run our frontend" Are there many people who would be running a React app with no backend at all? I suppose you could use it to display data just by fetching files, but I think it’s a less common use case.
