React's Default Dominance Stifles Frontend Innovation

2025-09-15

React's dominance in the frontend landscape isn't due to technical superiority but rather a default preference, hindering innovation. Teams often default to React without considering project-specific needs, creating a self-perpetuating cycle. Frameworks like Svelte, Solid, and Qwik, offering superior compile-time optimizations, fine-grained reactivity, and resumability, struggle for adoption. The author argues that this default mindset prevents fair evaluation and urges a shift toward choosing frameworks based on merit, fostering diversity and ultimately, greater innovation in the frontend ecosystem.

Bookmarkable by Design: URL-Driven State in HTMX

2025-07-30

This article showcases an elegant approach to state management in HTMX using URL parameters as the single source of truth. By leveraging the URL, developers can handle filtering, sorting, pagination, and search without complex client-side state management libraries. This results in bookmarkable, shareable application state, seamless browser history navigation, and simplified debugging. The article details three key steps: the server reading URL parameters, forms and hidden fields coordinating state, and automatic URL syncing with `hx-push-url`. Production considerations such as URL length limits and parameter validation are also discussed.
