Check out alpinejs or stimulusjs and combine it with htmx to get to a SPA like experience with very little additional complexity! Htmx let’s you serve partials over the wire instead of a page load so you can update the page incrementally and alpine and stimulus are both tools to add JS sprinkles like you’ve described in a way that is unobtrusive.

I appreciate the notion but my objective was to do the exact opposite of this and keep away from external dependencies and scripts where possible, apart from the solitary go-sqlite3.

The result is about 30K of source (including Go, CSS, HTML templates) which is less than minified alpinejs!

Adding dependencies is the opposite of simple.
