Personal opinion, if I was going to use htmx with a PORO backend I'd probably go for Roda[1] and Sequel[2].

If it was going to be read heavy I think I'd also pair that with SQLite for low latency and cheaper deployments.

If I didn't know exactly how requirements are likely to change over time I'd probably go with with Rails, Postgres[2], Redis and Hotwire. You can go a long way with that and a small team.

If you are one Rails, why not the hotwire stuff?

deprecated. they use stimulus and its worse obfuscated JS than htmx IMO

Any examples?

you're looking for what? my personal million dollar website or my billion dollar startup?

just any evidence to back up your argument

just my years of experience, sorry

What is PORO?

plain old ruby object. basically you take your truth from the database and you plug it into an object that takes the data and functionally produces a data output that you feed to your view.
