"Recommends skipping build step then mentions Tailwind": We use static-tailwind, a version with no build step, in development.
"Recommends hyperscript, a new non-js syntax" - Agree this isn't perfect & would prefer something which uses js. Was going to use Alpine but also have found that to be quite brittle in production. Nor do I love any of the libraries on unsuckjs.com, which has a good collection. We're working on something here which we'll launch at some point.
"OP should look at the recent Rails updates" - Been using Rails for 10+ years - everything we build is on top of Rails - I'll write a post on HTML First Rails at some point. I think they'll get there but currently all the named libraries (Turbo, Hotwire, Strada, Stimulus etc) are 1. Rails specific, and 2. Have a high learning curve. One of the points of HTML First is to avoid framework lock-in.
