    six months ago I chose htmx for a weekend side project. some thnigs went great, some things made me question my judgment. before I start the next one, I'd like to compare notes. what would you pick for this kinda work today, and what trade-offs do you think ppl underestimate? I'm espeically curious about what went wrong for u, not just what went right.

    How much interactivity does it really need?

    Start from the content, not the framework. A mostly static marketing site rarely needs a client-side framework; plain HTML, a static genreator or a sprinkle of JS keeps it fast and simple. Add a framework when you have real interactive state to manage.

    ahh classic for long-lived apps, the ecosystem and hiring pool matter more than elegance. Will someone be able to maintain this in five years?? Choose smth with stable releases, good docs and a community that isn't going anywhere.
