MESH: I tried HTMX, then ditched it

A developer explores HTMX for HTML-first web development but finds it lacks the structure of SPA frameworks. They create MESH, a framework that combines server-side rendering with web components using a "one component = one endpoint" principle. The project demonstrates building interactive features like drag-and-drop and real-time collaboration, ultimately replacing HTMX with custom JavaScript while maintaining the benefits of modular SSR.
