Part of the challenge of a reference implementation is that HTMX works with every backend. The Hypermedia Systems book [1] has a reference implementation in Flask (Python), but that’s less helpful if you’re in a very different ecosystem.

I think what’s needed is a sort of, repository of patterns. The main criticism of HTMX is it turns into spaghetti if not well structured. But that is also true of React and needing backend API endpoints well organized, and avoiding React hook-hell. And React has established those robust patterns of usage.

Agreed. I was thinking about a reference application to demonstrate those patterns.
