That's a good idea. I should probably mention it's hypermedia too.
At some point I'll write up a blog post. Virtual scroll was surprisingly simple in the end and mostly leverages CSS grid.
The funny part, is it't not really about Datastar (I use a fraction of its features). It does make pushed based hypermedia simple which opens up a lot of options.
Clojure/JVM and SQLITE is where the interesting stuff is happening for me at least. I guess that's the nice thing, Datastar gets you back to programming in your favourite backend language of choice and then gets out of the way.
I suggest to put a comment on the page to open dev tools and see the SSE event in action. I think people will appreciate D* even more.
