I used Turbo + Stimulus with a CodeIgniter PHP backend. Later, I used an HTMX bot with CodeIgniter and GoLang. Now, I have migrated my second brain web app (Brainminder) from HTMX to Unpoly.

I really liked HTMX, and I thank the authors for this marvelous library!

I switched from Turbo to HTMX because the latter is much more flexible, and I try to avoid Node.js as much as possible, only using it to compile some JavaScript code for Stimulus.

I finally moved from HTMX to Unpoly for the following reasons:

1. Layer support: Unpoly makes it easy to create layers and modal overlays, saving a lot of time and JavaScript code. You can achieve the same functionality with HTMX, but you have to write more code.

2. JavaScript code is better organized thanks to up.compile hooks.

3. HTMX and Unpoly treat fragments slightly differently. With HTMX, you have to use an out-of-band feature to update multiple fragments together. With Unpoly, you can easily add them to the response (and declare them in the front end, of course).

In my opinion, Unpoly has a better-organized approach to everything. On the other hand, apart from the official documentation, it is difficult to find examples for some edge-case features.
