I found htmx the other day looks like a good fix for most of the js bullshit
I got bad news for you… htmx is written in JavaScript.
Yeah but I'd rather 1 piece of js instead of 6000
Yeah I was being a little sarcastic. I agree that using a single lightweight framework is ideal.
Runtime js for rendering your page is still bad for performance of course. Best to use static html where possible.
It is pretty great. We use it throughout PieFed if you're interested in a working example.
