The Future (and the Past) of the Web Is Server Side Rendering

Completely agree.

For me the biggest advantage is eliminating the need to learn, debug, and maintain components on an additional frontend framework (Angular/React/Vue).

I just built a rough toy project [0] that was my first time with FastAPI and HTMX and it was fun and fast.

It's consumer reports but faster :)

Thanks. Speed and quality content is what I've been focused on. I was tired of Google search spam and Amazon review rot so built this to try expose good/trusted/authentic content.

I love the concept, but for my case, I'd need more granular filters. In particular, I only buy TVs that have analog audio outputs so I can hook them up to any speakers. That's a minority of TVs these days, but there are still a few around. Finding the good ones would be useful to me.

I assume that converters have negative side effects?

I'm unaware of their existence. I'm guessing they're big and expensive. Or maybe hard to get?

What kind of outputs? Fiber to analog is about $15 and the size of two hockey pucks stacked.

Huh. Ok. I just didn't know that was a thing. Ok, I guess I don't need analog outputs then. Still nice to have though. Better zero pucks than two.

Hifi geeks don't trust the DAC to something inside the TV, and ... they are not wrong. Plus you can reuse the DAC even if you change the screen.

I'm not an audiophile. I just want something better than what the screen does, and I don't want to buy a soundbar or get into HDMI. And sometimes use headphones.

But still, I'm pretty sure, one day I'm going to get one of these optical -> analog boxes.
