Recently, I've been looking for a suitable stack for another pet project. Personally my go-to stack is Remix.

But I want to use a server other than the default provided by Remix, i.e minimal Express. So, I found Hono. It looks interesting because it can run on many runtimes, and this time I want to try using Bun.

After researching Hono, it turns out it can render JSX directly from the server, which piqued my interest. Then I tried to make the JSX interactive, and finally, I used htmx. Lol.

And just yesterday, after spending hours I found a way to use PDFKit with Hono (Bun runtime), so I created a gist for reference:

Anyway I'm still cautious about putting this Hono + htmx stack into production use.
