I stumble upon http://tailwindcss.com & https://htmx.org and suddenly things have gotten far easier than ever.

I have found I write far less markup than bootstrap (despite I only have a few custom css), can do custom styling easily, can do theming easily, etc. And with htmx I could move nearly 95% of all to the server side, yet have close to the same experience than with vue.

Considering that a lot of stuff still need to travel to the backend have the logic on the client have not been that useful for my needs.

My only gripe? I need to use npm to run the production builds with tailwind for have less size, but, I have (finally!) small css!
