Nice work! I think the Python community definitely needs something like this. The thought never occurred to me to use HTMX w/Python for both server rendered HTML and dynamic behavior in the browser.

I have a few questions for you.

1. Why do you recommend conda or pip and not uv? Is this because the plug and play deployment platforms are configured to use pip?

2. Do you plan to make this “batteries included” like Django? E.g. it looks like currently you have to manage database schema and migrations outside of FastHTML.

3. Perhaps not in scope for this, but it seems to me making LLM API requests in the FastHTML backend could cause some scaling problems since these i/o operations can take a really long time and tie up the same threads required to render web pages. Any thoughts on that?

EDIT: Added third question.
