Hello, author of hyperflask here. I'm happy to finally announce this project as I've been working on it for quite some time. I made an announcement post here: https://hyperflask.dev/blog/2025/10/14/launch-annoncement/ I love to hear feedback!
I have been using htmx to build a web app and came to the conclusion that it is a dead-end. The main problem is that the state of your frontend application is in the URL. This is not flexible enough for modern UI where you might have many different zones, widgets, popups, etc. that all need their own local navigation, activation states etc. Putting all of this in a single global url is extremely hard. Designing your…
Hypermedia is also way better for realtime and multiplayer.
If anything where HTMX falls short is it doesn't put enough state on the backend, if anything it's not radical enough.
I’ve been using htmx with basic Django views for a couple years. It’s been great. I was originally concerned that the htmx was getting hard to maintain. But in my case I got to a point where I never have to look at it again. I wouldn’t recommend htmx for a team of more than 1 person or someone that has a lot of time to focus on the frontend. It was a great balance of rapid prototyping and solid enough to not have to…
> I wouldn’t recommend htmx for a team of more than 1 person Why is this? Do larger teams have time for busywork that they can't fill with HTMX?

This feels like a contradiction to what Flask (and) htmx are. There are way too many abstractions going on. Also I don't see any integration with htmx at all? I was expecting something like what FastHTML does where htmx is essentially built in.
After using HTMX for some time with different frameworks, I've come to prefer Go + Templ + HTMX. Good match between versatility and simplicity!
Next stack I wanna try (right now I'm on FastAPI + Jinja2 + HTMX).
there's a performance increase too, but these apps I'm talking about are so simple it's not enough to really notice. objectively FastAPI is really good and makes running a simple site so easy, I'd still recommend to most people using that.
In my experience with Django the admin scaffolding saves a lot of work building UI for diagnostic and customer service workflows. Projects on other frameworks that I've been involved with end up rebuilding a lot of that stuff in their own codebase, more work and often not as good of a result. There are a lot of aspects of frameworks like Hyperflask that look attractive relative to Django but foregoing the admin frame…
Having migrations, static files and templates for one aspect of a project all grouped together is so useful and I didn't realise until I didn't have it.
