Just want to point out that unpoly has been around for ages (looks like since 2015). This isn’t a copy of htmx.

Author here. Yes, we stuck with it and evolved the concept into Unpoly 2 and soon Unpoly 3:

I'd say 95% of the apps we build are now based on Unpoly, the rest on React.

We now believe SPAs are not a good default for the type of apps we're building. We're still reaching for SPAs when requirements demand high-frequency user input and optimistic rendering, e.g. for a chat or online game.

YMMV!
