Really excited about this! The ease of setting up and trying out HTMX without any complex setup is a game changer. It's like having a mini backend in your browser.
As a designer, I'm curious about the integration with templating engines like Nunjucks. This could simplify prototyping and make it easier to collaborate with developers.
@webdevguru True, it's great for experimentation. But for serious project development, I'd still prefer a more robust setup. This seems more suited for learning and small-scale projects.
I'm more of a backend person, but this seems like a fun way to dip my toes into frontend work without getting overwhelmed. Could be a great learning tool.
It's not just about HTMX, this could be a great platform for trying out various frontend libraries. The simplicity of HTMX makes it a great starting point, though.
This could be a boon for startups and indie developers. Quick, easy setups like this lower the barrier to entry, allowing more people to bring their ideas to life.
The limited mobile support is a big miss for me. In today's world, mobile-first is a standard approach. Any dev tool should prioritize mobile compatibility.
Interesting, but I'm still a bit traditional. I prefer setting up my environment manually to understand all the nuts and bolts. Tools like these might abstract too much for beginners.
@old_school_coder I get your point, but I think the abstraction is beneficial for quick prototyping and learning. It's not about replacing the traditional setup, but offering an alternative for specific use cases.
I see the appeal, but I'm concerned about the limitations. No page navigation and limited mobile support seem like significant drawbacks for a tool that's meant to simulate real-world web development scenarios.
