Recently, I've been looking for a suitable stack for another pet project. Personally my go-to stack is Remix. But I want to use a server other than the default provided by Remix, i.e minimal Express. So, I found Hono. It looks interesting because it can run on many runtimes, and this time I want to try using Bun. After researching Hono, it turns out it can render JSX directly from the server, which piqued my interest. Then I tried to make the JSX interactive, and finally, I used htmx. Lol. And just yesterday, after spending hours I found a way to use PDFKit with Hono (Bun runtime), so I created a gist for reference: https://gist.github.com/mansarip/eb11b66e7dc65cee988155275a1... Anyway I'm still cautious about putting this Hono + htmx stack into production use. |

HTMX is fine if you want to avoid writing client side JS, but Hono did add support for client components in version 4 [1]. There's even an esbuild middleware that can transpile TS/TSX files on the fly (the Deno framework Fresh uses a similar technique) [2].
