After perusing the web dev blog feeds (finally).. it seems that there’s a “mainstream” coordination away from the client side;

• https://intercoolerjs.org/
• https://unpoly.com/
• https://htmx.org/
• https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/introduction

Time until a transition to ‘json over the wire’? These are very handy libraries btw — I tried htmx previously.

I know of four PHP static site generators.

1. Jigsaw: Laravel Blade templates. Source Code
2. Couscous: Twig templates. Source Code
3. Sculpin: Twig templates. Source Code
4. Spress: Twig templates. Source Code

The key advantage is obvious: dynamicity “technically” comes for free. Feedback/debugging loops “can” be made instantaneous, and scaling to a large output is probably not too difficult.

One downside is that corporate minded developers and consumers online will think you’re a noob for choosing PHP.

So as you may know we have, knowledge.. or in the old black books of web witchcraft; the checkbox hack. I wonder though; did anyone ever go the final mile and create a kinda generalized “progressive polyfill” to fix the semantics of this so called hack?

Tangentially, a query for a details/summary polyfill brings up either rstacruz/details-polyfill or chemerisuk/better-details-polyfill with demo. Interesting.

A no build repository for SolidJS. Don’t ask. I found this splendid repository while strategically traversing the void. Demo.
