Reviewer scorecard
“Elegant simplicity. For CRUD apps and content sites, htmx eliminates the need for a JavaScript framework entirely.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“Not for every use case, but for the apps it fits, it dramatically reduces complexity. The meme game is also S-tier.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“The pendulum swinging back toward server-rendered HTML is real. htmx is leading the hypermedia renaissance.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
