I've been looking at HTMX. It's good for HTML/CSS/UX developers to add dynamic pieces to a multi-page application. However, It's quite different from what Nue attempts to be. Nue is meant for building both dynamic islands and full blown web applications. It's just targeted for UX developers and the JS developers can shift their focus more to the "back of the frontend" [1]. Ultimately Nue is going to be a complete frontend ecosystem and alternative to tools like Vite and Next.
Yes Nue is different, I'm just saying the poster above coming from the backend world would probably find htmx useful if he still wants to avoid wading into the frontend world again. I don't mean to hijack your thread on Nue which sounds interesting, just trying to provide a helpful suggestion.
