    Would be cool if it was opiniated with ready to use and interactive components like in FastUI (https://github.com/pydantic/FastUI)

    If you do this, i'll use it. But maybe that's not the goal?

    That’s how I like to use them framework to quickly bootstrap a project in Python only.

    I've started working on a FastAPI with HTMX wrapper also 4 days ago, it's not as advanced as your projects tho. There's not much there yet, but here's the link: https://github.com/lakonguina/devanture

      Well, the thing is, FastHX, htmy, and holm should be powerful an unopinionated. Think of them like ReactDOM, React, and Next.js.

      On the other hand, I already thought about building a component library for htmy. I'd prefer to do it with TailwindCSS and DaisyUI, or I could use for example BasecoatUI https://basecoatui.com/ as a template, because it already offers Jinja-like component snippets.

      Now that I have holm as well, I may eventually do it. It's a lot of work though, finding so much spare time is hard.

      FastUI is now Reflex. They essentially build a FastAPI + NextJS app combo from your code (maybe they already swapped NextJS for something else). NiceGUI is similar as well.

      For my projects, I really want to avoid a big JavaScript companion app, so interactivity will remain HTMX, pure JS where needed, or AlpineJS for example. I'm also thinking about a server-component concept for HTMX with holm, but I don't have a clear plan just yet. I can think about these more now that I have holm.

        Thanks for mentioning Basecoat.

        Funny enough, I've used a very similar stack (HTMX + FastAPI) for /dev/push [1]. Code is available there: https://github.com/hunvreus/devpush

        Planning on checking out holm soon.

          It's a shame you did all the rendering manually :) FastHX would have simplified your life a bit.

          devpush seems really interesting! I wasn't aware of it, but I'll check it out! It also looks great (no surprise there, it's Basecoat).

          Although I usually go with DaisyUI, Basecoat is a vey good source for ideas and more complex component patterns. This is why I feel translating Basecoat snippets to htmy wouldn't be that much trouble, and I'm seriously considering starting it.
