Ask HN: Help me pick a front-end framework
> "building a text-annotation based app"
I'm going to assume that you are talking about a desktop-based webapp that is also responsive, and not a native app. I also believe you when you say that you do not know where you are getting into.
I have 10+ years of experience doing front-end, with probably over a dozen React packages self-published in npm, and also tried making a rich text editor ~6 years back[1]. I actually recommend starting with no framework at all (please read on).
Creating a rich text editor might be the hardest thing you can do in "normal" front-end (excluding some more advanced "frontend" fields like 3D or games). You can either manipulate raw cursors, which will be very tricky because I'm not even sure you have access to all the right APIs (specially on mobile), or you can attempt to use Contenteditable, which is a hell of its own[2].
"All problems start with caret placing and multi browser support" [3]
That said, I believe 90% of the complexity of your app will be here, around the actual interaction with the or <div contenteditable> that you will be using. For that, no framework will really help you, at all. So my recommendation is to first get that working, which will take weeks/months and hundreds or thousands of lines of code, and then worry about placing the little hovering boxes in their place (the "UI"), which is like 10 lines of JS/CSS[4].<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/franciscop/modern-editor" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/franciscop/modern-editor</a><p>[2] <a href="https://answerly.io/blog/my-pain-developing-a-wysiwyg-editor-with-contenteditable/" rel="nofollow">https://answerly.io/blog/my-pain-developing-a-wysiwyg-editor...</a><p>[3] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27938702" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27938702</a><p>[4] <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/4495626/938236" rel="nofollow">https://stackoverflow.com/q/4495626/938236</a>

Migrating Next.js App to GO + Templ & HTMX
Recently, I just rewrite one of my application Stashbin from Next.js to GO. Though my main motivation of this migration was to learn GO and experimenting with HTMX. I also aiming to reduce the resource usage of my application and simplify the deployment process. Initially, Stashbin codebase are split into two seperate repository, one for the frontend that uses Next.js and another for the backend that already uses GO. The backend repository is just a REST API responsible for storing and retreiving data from the database.

🕸️ Web development trends we will see in 2024 👀
HTMX is another library that gained popularity due to its server-first approach to rendering data, although seeking a much simpler way of appealing to developers.

HTMZ inspired form subission
I was inspired by htmz (which was in turn inspired by htmx) and how the author got pretty close to a basic htmx-like experience just using an iframe. I wanted to push it a little further so whipped this demo together. My submission demonstrates progressive enhancement for the form - with js enabled the request targets an iframe that is inserted into the dom, meaning the page doesn't actually navigate (similar to event.preventDefault()). The iframe receives the html response from the request and on load triggers a function to swap out it's contents into the main page.

Go + Hypermedia - A Learning Journey (Part 1)
I've been digging into HTMX lately (using Python web frameworks) and find the concepts and approach to be interesting and promising. The idea of hypermedia driven systems over the current practice of JavaScript based frameworks (I never really got into React, played with Vue, and enjoy Svelte/SvelteKit) and the ability to chose your language/framework for the backend while primarily leveraging HTML/CSS on the frontend just seems refreshing.
