Turbo stimulus and Strada..

HTMX... Nothing. Just serve it however you feel. In the posts case, they decided to add some tight coupling with go, while not for everyone, is not really a framework.

I appreciate go server for really lightweight banal sites or even light services and htmlx is quickly becoming my new favourite markup. I will say this project isn't for me, but casting it as just another 'fasthtml' project is a bit far off the mark.

I actually created https://alpine-ajax.js.org for this reason. HTMX and Hotwire both have opinionated requirements around the content and status codes that your server returns. One of the goals with Alpine AJAX is you should be able to drop it into any basic CRUD app and have it working without changing any server code.

HTMX for example requires that a successful form submission respond with a 200 status, but many applications (most?) will 302 redirect to a new page to prevent duplicate form request on refresh.

This is very cool, I like the website too

I compare this project to FastHTML for two reasons: 1. They both invented a DSL to write HTML in a functional way. 2. They both integrate with HTMX to provide interactivity.

This is not a criticism or a metaphor, just an observation of their technical similarities. May I ask if there are any aspects I might be unaware of that make you feel this comparison is inappropriate?
