I did. My startup did. And now we’re going to rip it all out and move to a React front-end. HTMX makes response handling much more complex. Every endpoint returns 3–5 different HTML fragments. Frontend and backend must agree on every scenar

I don’t think this is a great solution for, broadly, consumer sites and apps. In a lot of cases, branding matters, and having consistent cross-platform rendering matters. However, I’ve had good experiences using system-ui with in-house dash

Yeah, that’s how my farm land is set up. I inherited farm land from my grandfather. I am very much not a farmer, I do not want to live in Southern Illinois, but I don’t want to give up the land, so I rent the land to a farmer with adjacent
