   @triptych Unsurprisingly, I couldn’t agree more ;)

   Have you had a chance to play with Kitten?

   https://codeberg.org/kitten/app

   Throw HTML, CSS, and JS at it and it’ll do what a web server does. Then, if you want, progressively enhance your site/app using hypermedia with built-in support for htmx, etc., and/or Streaming HTML (see https://ar.al/2024/03/08/streaming-html/ and https://ar.al/2024/03/26/draw-together/)

   (Although it exists to enable peer-to/peer web apps or the Small Web as I call it. https://ar.al/2023/02/20/end-to-end-encrypted-kitten-chat/)

     I think as web developers we have been collectively brainwashed into thinking that you must use React and Tailwind to create websites, when all you really need are vanilla web standards and a text editor. We should be making it easier to make websites than it is right now. You should not need a PhD in web design to create something that you can share and express yourself. We need more tools that make web development easy, not more tools that turn it into some 10 step build process #webdev
