Htmx Is the Future

The first SPA I wrote, I wrote in React for my use and for the use of friends. I spent about 3 days getting it working and then 3 months getting it to usable performance on my phone. There were no analytics, no binary data (100% text), just a bunch of editable values and such. I ended up having to split it up into a bunch of tabs just to reduce the size of the vdom.

"The size of the vdom" would not destroy performance like you're saying.

I've been told that before. Maybe it was something else; I don't know.

All I know is that I was unable to figure out what it was, and I bounced it off a few people online, and the performance scaled inversely with the number of DOM nodes.

I would think you have something else wrong with the design. I've worked on some pretty complex and large react apps that worked flawlessly on some low-end mobile browsers. Maybe you're accidentally duplicating a LOT of dom nodes?
