Previous clients were happy with small Angular/Vue apps, and I enjoyed the great DX from tools like Vite, Docker, and Swagger APIs
So no React, jQuery, Vue, whatever, but actually build an understanding for what's happening and then you can dive deeper as you want.
I had workeräd.with both angular and Vue before this - and many other utility frameworks.
HTMX is good when you *don't actually need* a full-blown SPA. It's not just for "simple projects", it is built around a different philosophy than things like React/Vue/Svelte.
the main tradeoff is you can't do the ultra-smooth offline-first stuff that react/vue excel at.

I noticed this weird 8194460 text that was appearing on my laravel website and causing the layout to break.
It also ships with Laravel (many install paths) - this bumps its numbers quite a bit
Laravel with React
It’s good to learn to do that for sure and I admire your spirit but also seriously learn about frameworks. Look at Laravel or Symfony for example.
My little Laravel adventure gave me a good introduction to the MVC pattern, which still feels overcomplicated but I trust that the benefits will probably appear when projects get bigger.
