The TODOS mini application at data-star.dev is slow and doesn't work correctly for me (checking/unchecking items isn't reliable). To me, this highlights one common problem I've seen with frameworks that insist on doing everything on the server.

Agreed, I have gig internet and a hardwire connection and still get more lag than I'd want from a web app.

Potentially could be solved with some client side cache but still..

first, great well structured and accessible post.

convinced me to maybe try datastar out next prototype where its applicable. reminds me of htmx with hyperscript if hyperscript wasnt kind of a joke. to clarify, the author of hyperscript calls it a sort-of joke and im not trying to slam it.

ive used htmx and hyperscript for prototyping because its entertaining and the novelty is motivating. i found similar issues as the author of this post where i talk myself out of using htmx for the product by the end of prototyping.

all that said we've been evaluating a react sdk provided by ESRI (experience builder) and diving into that makes me stare longingly at datastar where it seems like i could use signals to update client-side data from 3rd party apis

This is the second post I’ve seen praising Datastar in the last 24 hours, and once again no mention of the requirement to punch a gaping hole in one’s Content-Security-Policy.

If this is the framework of the future, cyber criminals are going to have a bright future!

I have the fastest internet in the whole country and I couldn't add new todo, also deleting the todo item is very slow.

How does this compare to HTMX (security wise)?
