There’s a huge need for this, thank you! I build server-rendered marketing sites and there’s a huge gulf between the jQuery and React era.

- hunvreus 1y agoHave you played with Alpine.js before? HTMX? I think you can get quite far these days WITHOUT React or Vue.js (and I say that as the maintainer of a Next.js/React open source project [1]). [1]: https://pagescms.org https://pagescms.org
- juddlyon 1y agoYep, I’ve used Alpine extensively and HTMX here and there. Lots of Vue. There are not sets of polished, battle-tested UI libraries made for server side. Bootstrap ships with JS, but most of the CSS and template frameworks assume you’re using a headless setup. I thought Web Components might spur things, but not really. React has continued to dominate.
- hunvreus 1y agoWhat do you use on the server? Basecoat has Nunjucks and Jinja macros, but I’d like to add more (e.g. blade, liquid, etc). I also plan on building more layout demos (e.g. marketing pages).
