Reviewer scorecard
“Elegant simplicity. For CRUD apps and content sites, htmx eliminates the need for a JavaScript framework entirely.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“Not for every use case, but for the apps it fits, it dramatically reduces complexity. The meme game is also S-tier.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“The pendulum swinging back toward server-rendered HTML is real. htmx is leading the hypermedia renaissance.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
