The documentation was a pretty interesting read until "AGPLv3".

heh. "use it on the server" ... oops, you triggered the networking clause of the AGPL, and now your entire backend is open source.
Well yeah, but what’s the downside?
If you have any MIT licensed libraries, it isn't compatible. Nor are the LGPL, BSD, or Apache licenses. So, there are a lot of downsides to accidentally using this license.
Not sure about MIT, but it’s not true for anything else: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#GPLCompati...
That's true for the GPL -- we are talking about the _A_GPL. Furthermore, on that page, it even says the Affero GPL IS NOT compatible with GPLv3.
Yeah this sucks I was excited for until I saw this too. Guess I’ll stick with HTMX or datastar
