Is Alpine the best way to add JS to your site?
Building stuff with @Alpine_JS is so much fun.
Add the 15kb library to your site and you can pretty much build any ui-component without dependencies.

Saw someone suggest that @tailwindcss + @Alpine_JS = colocation.
While blade components = encapsulation. Together you get DRY code.
So who cares if the code instead is messy. #LaraconOnline
Agree?
