The myth that you can’t build interactive web apps except as single page app(htmx.org) I often encounter discussions on Reddit and YCombinator where newer developers seek tech stack advice. Inevitably, someone claims it’s impossible to build a high-quality application without using a single-page application (SPA) framework like React or AngularJS. This strikes me as odd because, even before the SPA revolution, many popular multi-page web applications offered excellent user experiences.

Four Eras of JavaScript Frameworks (2022)(pzuraq.com) I started coding primarily in JavaScript back in 2012. I had built a PHP app for a local business from the ground up, a basic CMS and website, and they decided that they wanted to rewrite it and add a bunch of features. The manager of the project wanted me to use .NET, partially because it’s what he knew, but also because he wanted it to feel like a native application - no page refreshes or long pauses between actions.

Supercharge the One Person Framework with SQLite(fractaledmind.github.io) From its beginning, Rails has been famous for being a kind of a rocket engine that could propel your idea to astronomic heights at supersonic speed. But, at least for me, it has lately felt like I needed to be a rocket scientist to then deploy and run my full-featured application.

Next.js, Just Why? (2023)(pilcrowonpaper.com) I don’t want this to be just a rant. I really don’t. But out of all the frameworks I’ve worked with for Lucia, Next.js has been consistently infuriating to work with. And it hasn’t improved in months.
Web Components Are Not the Future – They're the Present(abeautifulsite.net) It’s disappointing that some of the most outspoken individuals against Web Components are framework maintainers. These individuals are, after all, in some of the best positions to provide valuable feedback. They have a lot of great ideas!
