Why you should choose HTMX for your next web-based side project (2024)
PA and complex SPA Date: 2024-02-23 | create | hamstack | htmx | mpa | spa | tech | I build a lot of side projects so I'm always on the lookout for technologies and paradigms that allow me to build them faster and cheaper at a similar quality. For the last several months I've been experimenting with building web apps with low-js tools like HTMX and Alpine.
Pros: Rich "modern" user experiences Cons: Complex at scale - dealing w data transfers (graphQL was built for this), abstractions, and app logic payload sizes So lowering the cost of building - in time and money - is crucial to making a side project successful. From my perspective, HTMX provides a great balance between allowing you to build modern apps with very low complexity (and thus time and money cost).
