I’ve been using htmx with basic Django views for a couple years. It’s been great. I was originally concerned that the htmx was getting hard to maintain. But in my case I got to a point where I never have to look at it again.
I wouldn’t recommend htmx for a team of more than 1 person or someone that has a lot of time to focus on the frontend. It was a great balance of rapid prototyping and solid enough to not have to worry about it
Isn't every project an ad hoc opinionated framework? You can do code reviews etc to get some alignment and not have everyone working against each other.
No, every project certainly isn't opinionated. There are a lot of approaches you can take to get there but I wouldn't recommend discussing alignment after the code is already written and trying to get large groups to agree.
