INSIGHT

HTMX Limitations

HTMX shines when your server and UI are tightly coupled, primarily serving HTML for a single UI.
It's less suitable for local-first apps or APIs supporting multiple diverse UIs.

ADVICE

Database Hosting for Local-First Apps

Explore managed database services like Neon or PlanetScale for easier setup and scaling.
Consider SST for zero-sync projects; it simplifies database and sync server setup.

ADVICE

Frontend Frameworks for Separate Backends

When choosing a frontend framework with a separate backend, consider TanStack Start, React Router 7, Astro, or even Vite with React.
Next.js is best when using its integrated backend features.
