Oh my goodness. I like to keep things boring where possible and swore I would never stray from Django + HTMX + Django Ninja, but I am exceedingly tempted to use this in an upcoming project. Lovely architectural choices - bravo!

It's a bit of a tangent, but do you have any go-to resources for learning how to use Django-ninja with HTMX? I haven't really put a lot of time into it, but HTMX seemed difficult to use with JSON APIs on first attempt.

I'm only really familiar with Django and DRF, but if love to switch at some point.

Htmx isn’t designed to work with JSON APIs at all. It needs HTML back from the server. You can detect when a request comes from htmx with a header it adds though so that allows you to return a different response if you want.
