    In a similar vein, I've been really enjoying the Go + Datastar combo with Templ.

    > even more secure Based on what? Happy to be wrong, but the quote in my reply was Apple's stance on the WebKit vs native iOS apps

    How did you determine the weighting for your scores?

    If it's about security and privacy, why push more people away from the Web to native apps that they know is less secure [1][2]? > WebKit’s sandbox profile on iOS is orders of magni…

    The problem is that it has to use the WebKit rendering engine, and not that it happens to. I think it's more insulting to browser vendors that they have to throw away their browser…

    They don't need to implement it though. They just need to unban browser vendors from shipping their own engines.

    I don't think it does benefit the open web. If consumers can't get value from the web, they'll go where they can find it. That is currently native apps, which is a closed and propr…

    I think malicious compliance is a fair interpretation of the situation: https://open-web-advocacy.org/blog/apples-browser-engine-ban...

    It's hard to understand the privilege bubble you're in unless you actively try to live like your users. My read of the current trend [1] is that building for your marginal users is…

    Thank you so much for the write up! I've been avoiding processes for some reason while I've been learning Elixir and this post pushed me to play with it today. And I started in Erl…

    Maybe the versioning should be powers of 2

    Why have a call-to-action to something they don't want you to do? It's only there for Pro users and people who want to support the project [1] and not normal use. [1] https://data-…

    Use the Navigator API directly then? Why do _need_ a declarative version of it?

    I'm confused. Datastar is a free open source framework that you can choose to use or not. It's weird to call them out as indecent and deceitful for not actively marketing features …

    If an enterprise won't want to pay for the product, what makes you think they're more likely pay for support? If you're implying they'll only pay when they've seen the value of the…

    This feels incredibly unfair and harsh and is completely unfounded. What's the scam here?

    Comment #45540439

    Fair enough! That's up to you If the core of the framework fits what you need, you could write those additional plugins yourself, rather than relying on the official "pro" ones. My…

    Which feature are you referring to?

    Comment #45537930

    I can see what you're saying. But again, the API design woes are subjective and I think it's perfectly fine to iterate on getting this to a nicer state. "Wrong" to me suggests a ga…

    Simple features? Making those imperative APIs declarative is not very simple for me, but you're welcome to not use those features and write them yourself. A couple of things on the…

    I don't think that's a fair read of their intentions given how they talk about it everywhere [1]. Pro isn't there to paywall great features, but there to support the development of…

    Isn't that the whole point of hypermedia frameworks like Datastar and HTMX? It's to extend the declarativeness of HTML. If you don't like the syntax, that's your preference. But I'…
