This example has most of the scenarios you have called out: https://github.com/livefir/fir/tree/main/examples/fira. Fir aims to limit itself to rendering templates on the server and making it available for all subscribers as a browser CustomEvent which is consumed by alpine.js for more complex interactivity. The expectation is the that the developer handles it via either alpine.js plugins or standard JS code.

[edit] This is still a work-in-progress so I will certainly add better guides and documentation moving forward. Although its good to get feedback that this approach might be interesting for at least some people.

I think this is adding unnecessary complexity. One of the reasons developers gravitate towards a framework like Alpine or HTMX is to write less JS and go back to enjoying HTML. Of course there are a lot of use cases that require custom JS scripting. But bootstrapping a project with another Go web framework and adding Alpine is also trivial. But keep going and follow your vision. I love these types of projects. Check this one out:

It's got some unique ideas.

Hey. I have checked out pushup before. Its great. I guess I am taking a niche approach which not many would find useful. To clarify: What is adding more complexity? alpinejs ?
