Many Python developers who build web applications rely on JavaScript-heavy Single-Page Applications (SPAs) to achieve dynamic user experiences. However, these SPAs have challenges, including increased complexity, slower load times, and complicated build pipelines. But an alternative approach exists that delivers an exceptional user experience without the drawbacks of SPAs!
This talk will explore how you can leverage the power of HTMX, AlpineJS, and Django's ability to stream HTML to create web applications with a significantly improved user experience. We will delve into the principles and techniques that make this approach a compelling alternative to SPAs.
