Looks like Jeremy Howard has put quite a lot of thought into the design of FastHTML [GitHub - AnswerDotAI/fasthtml: The fastest way to create an HTML app](https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/fasthtml).
It could be interesting to see what his demo app [fasthtml/examples/adv\_app.py at main · AnswerDotAI/fasthtml · GitHub](https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/fasthtml/blob/main/examples/adv_app.py) would look like in Genie.jl

I didn’t know about FastHTML so thanks for the post. I actually also ran into a nice webapp framework based on angular under the hood but which is made completely in python for the end user. It’s super sleek and works really well. I think something like it would boost web development significantly in Julia. Even though you could use PyCall etc. to call directly into it I believe this is something that would be really cool in native julia. It’s called [Mesop](https://google.github.io/mesop/).

What should be better in FastHTML than we have with [GitHub - OxygenFramework/Oxygen.jl: 💨 A breath of fresh air for programming web apps in Julia](https://github.com/OxygenFramework/Oxygen.jl) ?

As a heavy, and happy, user of [`Oxygen.jl`](https://github.com/OxygenFramework/Oxygen.jl) I would say it’s the inclusion and ease of creating the UI side of interactive web apps. Especially since he’s basing it on [HTMX](https://htmx.org/) which is a really good idea IMHO.

We already have something like this in Julia with [Stipple.jl](https://learn.genieframework.com/framework/stipple.jl/docs)! It allows you to expose data to the browser and implement callbacks with just a few macros, and write the UI in Julia. See the [app gallery](https://learn.genieframework.com/app-gallery) for some app examples.
Moreover, there’s also a VSCode extension called [Genie Builder](https://learn.genieframework.com/geniebuilder/docs) for building the UIs visually without writing any code at all.
Last, if we’re striclty talking about HTML pages here. Genie.jl also implements a low-code API that replicates most HTML tags. See an intro guide [here](https://learn.genieframework.com/framework/genie.jl/guides/creating-web-pages).

I don’t know. That’s why I hoped to nerdsnipe somebody to do the comparison 😉

Thank you for the reply @DoktorMike .
It’s a good observation that HTMX is what sets FastHTML apart.
Looking at [HTMX.jl](https://github.com/joshday/HTMX.jl/tree/main) it should not be too hard to add HTMX to Oxygen.jl. That would probably take us quite close.

I’m so glad you pointed this out – I’ve been mulling over a Julia HTMX generator… but the great minds of Julia always beat me to it 🙂

I cannot believe I didn’t know about the HTMX.jl package 📦 😂
Really great to see some HTMX love in Julia.
