HTMX is stand-alone from PostgREST, should be judged on its own interface and merits.
I’ve been using it to build a nontrivial site for a few months. It has some surprises coming from a background of experience with SPAs but it’s been pleasant to use overall, once I got over my own biases.
Not having to define types in JS is massive, and having a number of transitive frontend dependencies that I can count on one hand is huge.
It might not be the best tool for every job, but it’s a pretty great tool for small full stack shops.
