Abstract
As a backend engineer, I always found myself struggling to build a full-stack web application on my own. I seemed to always get lost, in the JavaScript ecosystem. Or even simple things like how to structure a more complicated application.
So when I learnt about HTMX, I decided to give it a go (no pun intended ;) ). So I tried to build a Web app without needing to write any (or very little JavaScript) and see how far I could get.
In the end, I had a joyful developer experience building an app with Go, HTMX, templ, tailwindcss and Postgres, KISS - keep it simple stupid.
