    I was recently interested in similar topic. Here are 3 similar solutions I found:

    * https://htmx.org/

    * https://unpoly.com/

    * https://hotwired.dev/

    My personal preference is Unpoly (the idea of "layers" is awesome). But the best explanation of concept as a whole (HATEOAS, keeping app state on server using partial page updates, etc) is at HTMX homepage, and in these essays:

  • ToolJet

    Low-code platform for building business applications. Connect to databases, cloud storages, GraphQL, API endpoints, Airtable, Google sheets, OpenAI, etc and build apps using drag and drop application builder. Built using JavaScript/TypeScript. 🚀

    Using low-code tools might be a great idea to build frontends without coding at all. If you are using open-source frameworks such as https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet , you can save some significant time building your application.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • elm-ui

    What if you never had to write CSS again?

    I use Elm for my project. Once you accept thinking the way it wants you to, it's a delight to develop front-end with it.

    Side advantage, Elm-UI frees you from CSS: https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/late... it's like Tailwind but deeply intertwined with the language.
