This is the thing. Htmx is great if you only consider the frontend. But it does require fixing up the backed to match. A framework like that needs to integrate the front & back ends fairly tightly to have good UX. You may be interested in Datastar which does this better IMHO

- asim 10mo agoThanks I'll look into it, but on first glance I feel like I just got space blasted by the website! What happened to simple websites eh
- kitd 10mo agoLol, it's ... a feature ... I think
- asim 10mo agoWell I guess part of the problem is I feel like I'm looking at the website with a magnifying glass...
- nchmy 10mo agoI assume youre referring to the "starfield" on the home page. That's just showcasing their "Rocket" webcomponents tool, which makes it vastly simpler to make WCs. It is otherwise a very simple website, and the framework and its SDKs are much simpler, yet more powerful, than HTMX
- qingcharles 10mo agoMy current plan is to switch to Datastar too, although the devs seem a little odd. The guys writing HTMX seem like a more professional bunch.
