Almost all of these projects bring something innovative too. My take: we are missing the "refactor" step from the loop. It probably concerns other areas more than web dev by the way, but I would like to see more projects that not only build on top of the past experiences, but also remove the complexity from the solutions, instead of adding the features to deal with it. Achieve the same result with fewer layers, less code, less "stuff". For what it’s worth, HTMX looks exactly like the latter kind.
