🤓 My top 3 Go packages that I wish I'd known about earlier
✨ In recent months, I have been developing web projects using GOTTHA stack: Go + Templ + Tailwind CSS + htmx + Alpine.js. As soon as I'm ready to talk about all the subtleties and pitfalls, I'll post it on my social networks.

Htmx Is Composable?
> But honestly, torn towards htmx but undecided.
We are in the middle of migrating from our monster react application into server rendered pages (with jinja2). The velocity at which we are able to ship and the reduction of complexity has been great so far.
Managing client side state for simple things like (is the dropdown open/closed), listening to keyboard events and such can be done with something like alpine-js [1] without all the baggage that something like react brings.
It appears this is already the trend with JS frameworks too - with server side rendering being the new norm.

Coming to grips with JS: a Rubyist's deep dive
Sure, you can use any number of JS-avoidance libraries. I'm a fan of Turbo, and there's also htmx, Unpoly, Alpine, hyperscript, swup, barba.js, and probably others.

What is your opinion about developers who do direct DOM manipulations instead of using modern web frameworks (like React, Vue, Angular) to achieve maximum performance?
Direct DOM, but with a library. Specifically AlpineJS since it follows Vue closely in design practices allowing me to scale into a full web application if necessary (basically swapping to Vue takes minimal work). The Morph plugin is specifically what I like using.

Kicking the tires with NestJS and Hotwire: Part II
If you want more details on the initial setup I encourage you to take a look at the Part I that covers more of the initial implementation. For this portion, I added Prisma as an ORM, a frontend style library called Tachyons, and AlpineJS to handle any client-side interactions. I did this to avoid needing to add a client-side bundler to the build and instead just rely on plain old module imports to compose the frontend. This is now the default for Rails and it is quite nice to not need any additional build tools for the client.

How to Make an Animated Number Counter with Tailwind CSS
If you’ve followed our other tutorials, you might be familiar with Alpine.js. It’s a lightweight JavaScript library that allows you to add interactivity to your site without writing a single line of JavaScript. It’s incredibly easy to use, and we’ll show you how to make the animation trigger when the user scrolls to it.

A First Look at HTMX and How it Compares to React
The approach is not new, essentially a variation of Knockout, Alpine, and similar "JS-in-HTML" approaches.

- Use any web browser as GUI, with Zig in the back end and HTML5 in the front end

Coming to grips with JS: a Rubyist's deep dive
Then there are stack-specific libraries: StimulusReflex for Rails, Phoenix LiveView, Laravel Livewire, Unicorn and Tetra for Django, Blazor for .NET, … and the list goes on.
- Unicorn – A full-stack web framework for Django
-
Reflex – Web apps in pure Python
- you get one of the best ORMs in existence with great relationship handling and generated admins
https://www.django-unicorn.com/
Not 1.0 yet but I'm using it in production and omgosh is it easy to crank out UIs.

Django 4.2 Released
There's a brilliant project called Django Unicorn that aims to be the equivalent of Laravel Livewire for Django. You should take a look.
https://www.django-unicorn.com/
That and HTMX + Alpine.js are a strong combination.
(I also had a bash at building a similar tool for Django called Tetra but unfortunately haven't had the time needed to commit to it: https://www.tetraframework.com)

Launch HN: Pynecone (YC W23) – Web Apps in Pure Python
I think all LiveView frameworks should be part of this.
Here are two Python ones I've tried:

I'm biased since I created https://www.django-unicorn.com/, but I have a few thoughts. :)

Frontend framework for django?
Have you looked into Django Unicorn?
-
Endless stack in Django
Check out https://www.django-unicorn.com/ it is like htmx but is closer to Django.
-
Rails has Hotwire (which as I understand is an SPA-like integrated frontend with much reduced complexity), is there something analogous in Django? Is this what HTMX is? I really don't want to learn React or Vue..
When I was exploring the space, django-unicorn looked interesting also. But HTMX got me so far, so easily, that I didn't give unicorn a fair shake.
What are some alternatives?
Svelte - Cybernetically enhanced web apps
django-htmx - Extensions for using Django with htmx.
petite-vue - 6kb subset of Vue optimized for progressive enhancement
reflex - 🕸️ Web apps in pure Python 🐍
htmx - </> htmx - high power tools for HTML
React - The library for web and native user interfaces.
PyWebIO - Write interactive web app in script way.
Stimulus - A modest JavaScript framework for the HTML you already have [Moved to: https://github.com/hotwired/stimulus]
flet - Flet enables developers to easily build realtime web, mobile and desktop apps in Python. No frontend experience required.
hyperscript - Create HyperText with JavaScript.
Flask - The Python micro framework for building web applications.
