Same experience here. I tried it a few months ago and even on simple use I quickly ran into so many bugs & issues I quickly gave up. I'm willing to learn a new UI, but the tool must be reliable, and it simple was not.

Hopefully they've improved a lot recently?

I'm a freelance webdev with 15 years of experience, and recently I've made some new projects with Symfony Stimulus & Turbo to great success.

A few thoughts:

I tried just htmx too, too limiting. Stimulus/Turbo combination is much better.

Use the right tool for the job. Highly interactive app, like an editor? Use react or similar js framework. Mostly page/document website? A backend framework is much faster and easier to develop, and much simpler to test.

Use what you know yada yada.

I know CSS quite well, as I've been working with it over 15 years. I've been surprised that new programmers hardly know it at all, and heavily lean on component libraries or css frameworks.

Can see why though, css has become very large and complex, and it's only getting worse.

The upside is that my simple fixes sometimes seem like a superpower to others.

Do you think that Iran would do any better given the opportunity? The very fact that you where able to freely learn of these attrocities commited committed by your own leaders, is only due to you living in a democratic country. Where you to live in Iran, or China, Russia or any other dictatorship for that matter, the situation would be very different.

No one should deny that that is plenty wrong with the western world and it's actions, but to suggest that a totalitarian regime, that engages in suppression of women and gruesome violence against protestors, is somehow equal or even superior is just plain wrong.

Yes, I've got a shopping/todo/whatever list app that I made for myself and my girlfriend. So far it has multiplayer editing, offline mode, suggestions when adding, scraping ingredients from a recipe site we use. I love that I can just add random things that I need like that last one. I hate the multiplayer syncing, it's kinda brittle. I guess I spent around 20 hours on it.

Yes very simple! Not a problem whatsoever with that. я не говорю по-русски

Interesting how Google first decided to "borrow" knowledge from other pages and display it directly on their own site, but now they are also directly blamed if it's wrong.

If it was just a link, people would just think that site was wrong, now they think that Google is wrong.
