This looks really good!

> 4. doesn't have a frontend build process

Is it entirely server-side and then it's all htmx? Is there a way to also hook client-only TS/components for more complex/interactive stuff? Or is that out of scope entirely?




thank you!

yes, it's server-side with htmx at the moment. anything client-side that has a build process is entirely out of scope as i think that's a major source of complexity.

i'm considering embracing alpine.js for when htmx is not enough, just need to make sure the alpine directives are type-safe.

i think it's exciting what astro, hono or fresh are doing with islands of interactivity but plainweb tries to be even more minimalistic.
