Reviewer scorecard
“Elegant simplicity. For CRUD apps and content sites, htmx eliminates the need for a JavaScript framework entirely.”
“Python script to interactive web app with zero frontend code. The caching and state management work well.”
“Not for every use case, but for the apps it fits, it dramatically reduces complexity. The meme game is also S-tier.”
“For data scientists who don't want to learn React, Streamlit is the best option. Quick prototyping and dashboards.”
