... I remember inventing signals circa 2005 for a knowledge graph editor I worked on in GWT back when I didn't care about knowledge graphs. Not long after that I was using similar concepts to develop a complex Silverlight decision support application for sales territories.
I'm still a little appalled that people have forgotten how to make HTML form applications like we made in 1999 and frequently use React for things that don't really need it. React has, I think, one of the most elegant methods of implementing a widget set ever invented (sure beats XAML, FXML, Visual Basic, etc.) but it doesn't support a real answer to maintaining application state that would be adequate for applications as complex as RIAs made by early adopters in 2005.
My favorite use for React is
which works like a cross between VRML and Unity Framework. Here you can easily build a virtual world that people can experience with desktop, mobile and VR headsets. Something you can't do with HTML forms!
I have a few side projects based on HTMX but I am pretty sure we will see something like it but better soon. In particular back end frameworks need to be updated for the new reality. Often you have a "component" like a dropdown box which can either be drawn as part of a bigger page or updated on its own and you really need some way you can reuse the HTML template for those purposes and hopefully also reuse associated code that does database lookups and such.

Project mention: Hack Club Blot: A CNC drawing machine for programmatic art. Built with teenagers | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-09
Blot is completely open source (hardware and software). You can find the GitHub here: https://github.com/hackclub/blot
I spent the last year building Blot with teenagers in the Hack Club community including but not limited to B (age 19), Henry (15), Kai (17), Shawn (18), Hugo (15), Ella (19) and Bright (15).
At Hack Club we’re working on building a new model for public education through open source projects. We believe people learn best by building things they care about and sharing those things with others. We want to support motivated teenagers around the world to pursue technology this way. That’s why we created the “You Ship, We Ship” model. We build online creative coding environments that are gateways to other subjects in technology. When teenagers create projects with our tools and share them publicly we send them more creative material. At the end of 2022 we released our first “You Ship, We Ship” project: Sprig.
Sprig is a microworld for making tile games, when you share your game we send you the hardware to build a handheld gaming console that can play that game. https://github.com/hackclub/sprig
Today we are releasing our newest “You Ship, We Ship”: Blot. Create a program that generates line art and we’ll send you a robot that can draw that art in real life. We hope Blot will encourage people to explore the beauty of programming and be a gateway to digital fabrication. Nothing feels more magic to me than writing an incantation on a computer that can materialize into a real thing that you can hold in your hands. I hope to share that magic with you through Blot.
Everything is free and open source so anyone is welcome to use the editor, submit to the gallery, or build a Blot machine. You have to be a teenager for us to send you a machine for free though.
I’m excited to see what people make! Enjoy.

MERN-template
A website template using the MERN stack. It is geared towards Persistent Browser Based Games (think neopets), but is flexible enough for a number of different uses.
Project mention: So I spent 3.5 years making a game as a website... | /r/webdevs_of_liberty | 2023-11-07Anyway, the structure of this website uses microservices, driven by an engine I dubbed the MERN-template. It has it's own auth service, and supports both chat and a news feed. The game-specific elements are closed-source though (the idea is you fork the core repo, and build out from there).
