Shameless plug: If you want seamless SSR with Django logic, but React templates, check out my project at https://www.reactivated.io .

It's like HTMX but uses React, and the JS bits are rendered on the server. You can then hydrate on the client.

Setting up something like this myself has always been a pain and I’ve just stuck with DRF + React instead.

Will need to give this a try, thanks for sharing (and building it)!

Yea using Django only for DRF APIs always felt limited. I want Django forms and form sets.
