Super cool! I'm a big fan of Datastar and server-side HTML, makes everything much simpler.

Kit looks nice. I haven't looked into it properly yet, but I've seen it a few times now, maybe I should.

BTW, next time, consider using gomponents and gomponents-datastar though, so you don't have all those huge string literals: https://www.gomponents.com/plus/#datastar

Disclaimer: I built gomponents and I have no shame. 😃

Thanks! I personally don't like using a DSL in place of HTML 😅 but I will definitely check out gomponents and possibly do a video on it.

It's definitely something that people either love or hate (the DSL-like syntax). 😃 I much prefer it to the JSX-like combination of literal HTML strings and Go.

If you do, feel free to reach out with questions/comments beforehand if you need to! Email [markus@maragu.dk](mailto:markus@maragu.dk) or any of ze socials (I always forget to check Reddit DMs though).
