HN discussionI recently read this: https://drshapeless.com/blog/posts/htmx,-datastar,-greedy-de... Which states some of the basic (great) functionality of Datastar has been moved to the Datastar Pro product (?!). I’m eager to support an open source product financially and think the framework author is great, but the precedent this establishes isn’t great.
