Is Htmx a good case for UI for a local application? I want to build a server app which I could host openly behind some auth, but at the same time I'd want to be able to run it in local mode, as a simple UI for local tests.

I understand there are some security challenges, as in "local" mode it can only communicate over HTTP with local app, or probably without CORS, etc. XSS might be a real issue here.

Strange question... if something works over the public internet why would it not work locally? There's no magic sauce with HTMX. It's just a JavaScript library that does what a million others do. You can run it on a local toaster if you felt like it.
