AlpineJS I’ve wondered about a middle ground between for apps between single page apps where you’re essentially relying on JS to draw the UI and more traditional server-driven apps that have interactivity but without the difficult-to-debug style of pre-React DOM manipulation.
The Hey email app is built like this, and DHH has promised to go into detail about how it works.
