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..

• Alpine.js

  242 26,798 9.3 HTML

  A rugged, minimal framework for composing JavaScript behavior in your markup.

  

A really nice compromise between all of these is Alpine.JS which is slightly harder to use than HTMX and (trigger warning) does contain Javascript, but is much more straightforward than something like React/Vue because your HTML still looks like HTML and you just sprinkle the interactive JS elements on top.

• django-htmx-modal-form

  2 18 5.0 HTML

  Django+HTMX modal form

I tend to use alpine and htmx together. you can handle htmx events using alpines @ shorthand to set up the handlers. It's quite nice. If you want to get more of an idea how it looks, I took Benoit Blanchon's modal and toast samples and did a version that uses tailwind and alpine.

• django-unicorn

  51 2,171 9.1 Python

  The magical reactive component framework for Django ✨

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.
