Ha no. No htmx here. Just me being dumb with Heroku.

There are a ton. Go on the HTMX subreddit and there is a question basically every week talking about some new styling framework. I'm not an expert but you will find something there for sure.

Ha you're right. My bad (poster). I didn't realize until right now that it kid of implies the opposite. Sorry about that!

Guess I should upgrade from the hobby postgress tier....

Yeah.... got the website up an running a week ago on Heroku and made this post. And what do you know, hacker news crashed it!!

I think the argument in addition to "makes easy things easy" is "and most things are much easier than you think."

HTMX and the hypermedia philosophy asks you to reconsider whether you need the complexity ever, even at scale.

Hiring is one part of a business, but I don't know if I agree with this, mainly because learning HTMX is so darn easy. You are essentially offloading much of the business logic to other parts of the stack.

So, in my case, if I'm lucky enough to be hiring employees to work on this project, I'd likely be looking for backend django experts or true "front-end" devs with expertise in styling and limited client-side JS.

That's a fair critique. I would say that the Django ecosystem is fairly batteries included though. I used the django-allauth package for this project and it filled in those gaps.

Additionally, in the Python ecosystem your other options are basically flask and fastapi, which are definitely not any form of batteries included.
