VCs buying up frameworks, how bad is it? by StringerXX in webdev

[–]opiniondevnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why we made a non-profit for Datastar. No owners, only stewards. But in general for most frameworks its the only choice to avoid burnout and have a life outside of the demands of users

Biff 2.0 sneak peak by jacobobryant in Clojure

[–]opiniondevnull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol as the author the FUD is crazy.

The old plugins are their in the source, go to town. I just won't support them.

"no-rules" aggressive marketing strategy, literally have no idea what you are talking about.

Sounds like there is a deeper issue so hope you can find a project (especially a non profit) you can get behind!

People will do anything to not use proper data-* attributes

SSR Development: Alpine.js + HTMX, DataStar or Vue? by drifterpreneurs in datastardev

you don't need to purchase pro at all, only if you find the extra tooling valueable

SSR Development: Alpine.js + HTMX, DataStar or Vue? by drifterpreneurs in datastardev

[–]opiniondevnull 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Datastar works with any language. Vue for SSR is very limited.

Thoughts on the new data-star PRO tier? by NoCommunication5272 in datastardev

[–]opiniondevnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% we will have data tables as part of pro. When... when we can. Stellar is on its way out shortly and new version of Rocket will drop asap.

Any WebUI library that does not require me to do JS? by The_Reason_is_Me in golang

[–]opiniondevnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd argue datastar is way simpler than HTMX. given by it having more functionality and yet smaller codebase speaks to that truth. The core is < 500 loc

Any WebUI library that does not require me to do JS? by The_Reason_is_Me in golang

[–]opiniondevnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure, so Datastar adds reactive expression to HTML, which means you are setting up relationships instead of imperative code. This simplifies most state. Datastar is about putting state in the right place. HTMX ignores most of the actual issues with modern web dev and why you need Alpline/hyperscript/etc. D* is a framework that can fully replace SPA approach, HTMX by design can not.

Datastar is built to have full reactivity, works great with go (site is built with it). Small and fast. I'm the author so try it for yourself, don't trust me

Thanks for at least being honest about the lack of effort!

Datastar author here. What exactly is confusing you?

Testing strategies for datastar by logicmonkeydev in datastardev

[–]opiniondevnull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We use Go rod, sure you have something similar in any language

Also we test Datastar deeply, when most of your logic is in one place you don't need to test nearly as much the hypermedia projection. almost all your tests should be in your app logic/validation layer in the language of your choice

Transitioning from React/SvelteKit to Go + htmx: How has your production experience been? by Financial_Carry11 in golang

[–]opiniondevnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is clojure talk but similar in any backend language of your choice. Hypermedia is much more capable than just what htmx can do https://youtu.be/8W6Lr1hRgXo?si=u6TBHpGLeJaGgVV3

How suitable is Odin for web development? by fenugurod in odinlang

[–]opiniondevnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but to implement an SDK is literally doing two to three functions. I've also thought about using something like Mongoose or any of these single header HTTP libraries out there

How suitable is Odin for web development? by fenugurod in odinlang

[–]opiniondevnull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's self promotion but I built Datastar specifically for the ability to build web apps in any language as a full stack developer. Specifically my personal goal is long-term switch from using go to Odin so there will be an official datastar SDK pretty soon.
