This looks really cool. I have experience with shiny apps in R, and Python has a shiny package too now. FastHTML looks a lot like Python shiny without routes. I think both of these frameworks are great for people with no web dev experience. It would be great if there is some discussion of htmx and why it is used in the tutorials section of FastHTML docs.

Shiny and FastHTML are both built on top of Starlette, so both use the same routing implementation. FastHTML by default uses a `RouteX` subclass that adds quite a bit of functionality to Starlette routes (mainly around automatically passing in the needed parameters for a handler).

There's quite a bit of background of why HTMX is used, particularly these two sections of about.fastht.ml:
