But if you want to make your site feel a bit more "app-like" with animated popups, interactive tabs, infinite scrolling, etc then you will probably need to code a bit of javascript to manipulate the HTML tags without reloading the page. There are other alternatives like HTMX that removed the need for javascript, but it has their own trade-offs.
