Alpine Ajax – If Htmx and Alpine.js Had a Baby

In plain words

Alpine Ajax is an Alpine.js plugin that brings HTMX's core functionality into a compact 3KB package. It's designed for developers who want to add dynamic, server-driven interactions to web applications without the overhead of a larger library. The plugin streamlines AJAX requests and HTML swapping through Alpine.js, making it ideal for developers already using Alpine who prefer a lightweight alternative to HTMX.

  Build progressively enhanced reactive HTML apps using Go and Alpine.js2023 · livefir.fly.dev · ▲127

  Fir leverages Golang’s standard library html/template package and a bit of alpinejs to allow building reactive UIs. You start with plain old html and use alpinejs to enhance it to bring no-page-reload interactivity to web apps. The Fir toolkit is designed for Go developers with moderate html/css & js skills who want to progressively build reactive web apps without mastering complex web frameworks. It includes a Go library and an Alpine.js plugin. How it works ? On receiving user-interactions the fir server re-renders html templates and sends it over the wire where the fir client…

  htmgo - build simple and scalable systems with golang + htmx2024 · htmgo.dev · ▲166

  Hey all, I just wanted to share a project I've been working on for the past month. After years of heavy frameworks, I really like the idea of using htmx, but it’s a little too low level for me and needs a thin layer above it to facilitate things like components, better syntax with complex JS inside of an attribute, etc To try and solve this problem with a very minimal stack (golang + htmx) that I've been really enjoying, I'm building this project to cater to my needs and was thinking it would be useful for other developers.

  I made a HTMX Playground 100% in the browser2024 · lassebomh.github.io · ▲482

  I recently dug up an old project in an attempt to improve on it. It's a code sandbox for playing around with HTMX in the browser, that runs a mock server within the sandbox iframe. The server "framework" is loosely based on Django, so if you're familiar with Django, you'll immediately understand what's going on. I recommend clicking through the examples. Github repo: https://github.com/lassebomh/htmx-playground Probably my favorite part is the lack of HTMX specific code. It's designed to mimic the client and server, but really nothing else. In principle, this means that…

  Mountaineer – Webapps in Python and React2024 · github.com · ▲145

  Hey HN, I’m Pierce. Today I’m open sourcing a beta of Mountaineer, an integrated framework for building webapps in React and Python. I’ve written a good 25+ webapps over the last few years in almost every major framework under the sun. Python and React remain my favorite. They let you get started quickly and grow to scale. But the developer experience of linking these two worlds remains less than optimal: — Sharing typehints and schemas across frontend and backend code — Scattered fetch() calls to template data and modify server objects — Server side rendering / gateway support — Error…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
