Thank you for the article! great simple walkthrough!

Personally, I'd always advise starting developers to build stuff using vanilla js. It helps them gain a much more robust understanding of the browser and what happens behind the layer (or layers) of abstraction the framework provides.

Obviously react is still king in terms of popularity and support, but I quite like HTMX and an very optmistic about its future. you also missed a key aspect of its popularity; the memes are hilarious!!
