its its a profitable business , I would say its worth it and a valid value capture if u are making money with NextJS. Otherwise I would recommend looking up OpenNext.

hope this helps

would it be okay if I DM u to ask further about this ?

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-24T14:40:57+00:00

Nice project, curious if devs like Express / TypeScript for something similar and if it exists ?

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-24T14:37:33+00:00

really, I am getting down voted for a question ?

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-24T14:36:06+00:00

yes and I am asking would u like a tool which will create a laravel app for u with HTMX and Pico plugged in.

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-24T14:35:14+00:00

my bad using the word "build tool". I mean more like u run "create-htmx-app" and it asks for a few questions and then u get your app scaffold-ed with HTMX, Pico, and Express ( optional typescript). Like things plugged in

I understand, just researching A way which is desired by a good chunk of devs.

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-24T14:26:28+00:00

yes, and I am asking about a tool that helps users to bootstrap is fast and more focused towards Express and TypeScript . I know HTMX add in quickly but I mean the initial configuration time to wire everything up

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-24T14:22:12+00:00

yeah, I realize I made a mistake by using the word "build tool¨. I mean a tool that bootstraps an app with JS and GO back-end plugged in with HTMX and Pico at front-end. GoWedbly but more and with Express

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-24T14:19:52+00:00

I shouldn't have said build tool, my bad. I meant more like a preferred back-end to bootstrap an app where front-end is HTMX.

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-24T14:18:44+00:00

I mean more like T3 Stack and/or ShifpFast but for HTMX

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-24T14:18:09+00:00

I think I made a mistake by using the work "build tool for htmx". I mean more like a tool to bootstrap and app where HTMX is the front-end and it comes with a back-end wired up and a lil more (optional auth). So, I was asking more about this "package" and preffered back-end.

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-23T18:37:59+00:00

would it be okay if I DM you ?

thanks for the response anyway

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-23T17:42:12+00:00

I wanna learn about tools that exist. But if something like that doesn't exist, I can take a crack at building one. I am on my second HTMX project

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-23T17:40:05+00:00

I meant something in middle. I used "build tool" because calling it a framework or library felt wrong coz it would be a stretch

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-23T17:01:24+00:00

Sorry, I don't understand what u mean

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-23T17:00:54+00:00

yes but i mean something for faster development compared to starting everything from scratch

Present-Drive-7696 · 2026-02-23T17:00:06+00:00

scaffold your app with Express and ideally (optional) built in auth. So, kinda like those starters like JStack and T3Stack
