You don't get it. There's an easy way to do this, which is having a config setting. They don't want to put it easy, and provide all these more convoluted ways, because what you describe is an "ideal" which doesn&#x2

Wouldn't running your development environment inside docker provide the same safety levels?

First and foremost, I don't go SPA/React by default on every project, so that reduces a lot my need of the kind of framework I think you're thinking about. Now, if I do need a lot of interactivity in the frontend, I use Inert

And you're just falling into their trick. Just check how this works. And how easy it is to forget to do this on every environment you're deploying to, or for every other developer in your team. This is exactly the evil part I&#x27

Vercel is an evil company in disguise. I’ve understood this and stopped using Next with all the enabled by default and intentionally difficult to disable metrics collection system they have in Next. Having it enabled by default, without ask

I think the Laravel ecosystem is pretty comparable, if not better, than the rails one.

>In SPX every single page visit response (the HTML string) is maintained in local state. Revisits to an already visited page will not fire another request, Unpoly does this.

Well said. I've had to suffer those frameworks somebody thought they could do better without them, and it was a disaster. Nobody other than the person that wrote it was happy about it.

This looks extremely similar to Unpoly to me.

Yeah... I don't agree at all with their conclusions about running your own stuff "not that complicated". Sure, it is not "that complicated" for basic stuff, simple sites, hobby projects or overall quick'n dirty

I've used this approach a lot, although I prefer Unpoly to htmx. On my last project I paired it up with Alpinejs for the 100% client side interactions, leaving Unpoly for the use cases where I would have needed an API call in the SPA w

I think a big part of this is because of the the popular teachers and bloggers/youtubers which are not more than undercover (and some not even undercover) marketers for companies or solutions promoting the use of their platforms. So ma

Django is great, I've used it for many, many years until about 6 years ago. The problem I find with Django is that it's a purely backend framework. The moment you want to use their highly outdated templating system it becomes evid

Have my upvote. Full stack frameworks like Rails, Laravel or Adonis are not "fashion" anymore apparently. And people keep wasting time reinventing the wheel because that's the fashionable thing to do.

Elixir is a great idea, but it's already dead. I know of several companies here in Europe that already ditched it and went back to other older technologies or moved to Go, etc. because the Elixir ecosystem is so small. Also they had to

You can add any interactivity you want to PHP (or any other server rendered html) using Alpine.js, Unpoly, HTMX, or any other kind of modern approach to frontend JavaScript. It is not anymore a dichotomy between ugly jQuery spaghetti or ful

Unpoly is the best thing I've discovered in the frontend world in the last 5 years. It's a breath of fresh air when compared to all the crazyness going on. I use it to replace almost all "api" calls to the backend and fo

+1 for Adonis. I've been using it for some time, together with unpoly + alpinejs and it's a real pleasure. I'm really productive with this stack. In fact, their docs site is built using these tools: https://github.

Not really a company, just a side project used by me and some friends: Laravel + Unpoly + Tailwind.

99% agree with this. I agree with everything except the comparison with Laravel. I think it's great.

From the user/product point of view, WordPress might be awesome for all the reasons you stated. As a developer, WordPress makes you feel miserable if you ever worked in any other framework/ecosystem. That's my experience at l

I do. I'm an extremely happy user of Unpoly.
