If the hypermedia approach really grabs you, you could pair an htmx-based web application with a HyperView-based mobile application:

this repo keeps track of various benchmarks on a data grid type app https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark eventually you may need to create "virtualized scrolling" (e.g. only rendering a subset of the total table to the screen at a time) which can hard to make seemless
Svelte is another great option with a much smaller footprint than React. If you don't feel like setting up SSR by hand, you can also just use Next.js which works fine with Preact [1].

I do indeed. The project is called SPX (Single Page XHR) which is a play on the SPA (Single Page Application) naming convention. The latest build is available on the feature branch: https://github.com/panoply/spx/tree/feature - You can also consume it via NPM: pnpm add spx (or whichever package manager you choose) - If you are working with Stimulus, than SPX can be used instead of Turbo and is actually where you'd get the best results, as Stimulus does a wonderful job of controlling DOM state logic, whereas SPX does a great job of dealing with navigation.
I developed it to scratch an itch I was having with alternatives (like Turbo) that despite being great are leveraging a class based design pattern (which I don't really like) and others which are similar were either doing too much or too little. Turbo (for example) fell short in the areas pertaining to prefetch capabilities and this is the one thing I really felt needed to be explored. The cool thing with SPX which I was able to achieve was the prefetching aspect and I was surprised no-one had ever really tried it or if they did the architecture around it seemed to be lacking or just conflicting to some degree.
A visitors intent is typically predictable (to an extent) and as such executing fetches over the wire and from here storing the response DOM string in a boring old object with UUID references is rather powerful. SPX does this really efficiently and fragment swaps are a really fast operation. Proximity prefetches are super cool but also equally as powerful are the intersection prefetches that can be used. If you are leveraging hover prefetches you can control the threshold (ie: prefetch triggers only after x time) and in situations where a prefetch is in transit the module is smart enough to reason with the queue and prioritise the most important request, abort any others allowing a visit to proceed un-interruped or blocking.
In addition to prefetching, the module provides various other helpful methods, event listeners and general utilities for interfacing with store. All functionality can be controlled via attribute annotation with extendability for doing things like hydrating a page with newer version that requires server side logic and from here executing targeted replacements of certain nodes that need changing.
Documentation is very much unfinished (I am still working on that aspect) the link in readme will send you to WIP docs but if you feel adventurous, hopefully it will be enough. The project is well typed, rather small (8kb gzip) and it is easy enough to navigate around in terms of exploring the source and how everything works.
Apologise for this novel. I suppose I get a little excited talking about the project.
As I was reading https://htmx.org/, I kept thinking "Oh crap, yet another framework ripping off intercooler/alpine. Why?". Then I when I got to the bottom, I read that it's a rebrand/rename of intercooler, which gives me a lot more confidence/trust about the project. I would recommend putting the "htmx 1.0 = intercooler 2.0" at the top of the htmx website, similar to the intercooler website.
