Best for

  • Building content-driven applications with server-side rendering and minimal JavaScript
  • Replacing React/Vue SPAs with hypermedia-driven CRUD applications
  • Creating fast, accessible admin panels and dashboards using Django/Rails + HTMX
  • Implementing progressive enhancement for forms, infinite scroll, and real-time updates
  • Designing HTML-over-the-wire patterns for e-commerce and business applications

What you'll get

  • Django template fragments with specific hx-get, hx-target, and hx-swap attributes for form submissions and list updates
  • Flask route handlers that detect HX-Request headers and return HTML partials vs full page renders
  • Progressive enhancement patterns showing graceful degradation from HTMX interactions to standard form submissions
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Real-time collaborative editing apps requiring complex client-side state synchronization
  • ×Offline-first mobile applications with extensive client-side data caching
  • ×Heavy client-side computation like image editors or CAD tools
  • ×Applications requiring complex client-side routing with deep nested state
Expects

Server-side rendered applications where you control the backend template system and want to add interactivity without JavaScript frameworks.

Returns

Structured HTML templates with HTMX attributes, server endpoint designs, and progressive enhancement patterns that eliminate JSON APIs.
