Summary: The article discusses the current state of web application development and the challenges associated with single-page applications (SPAs) that rely on specialized tools like React and Angular. The author suggests that a new approach is needed to put the ability to deliver a super-smooth no-reload experience back into the hands of engineers who built websites before the SPA-craze, leveraging their existing toolsets and knowledge. The author recommends HTMX as the best example of this approach. The article also highlights the costs of SPAs, including increased complexity in terms of architecture and developer experience, managing state on both the client and server, and the need for modern hardware to execute a lot of JavaScript. The article concludes by discussing the benefits of using a hypermedia approach to building websites, which can offer more interactivity and a better user experience.
