Great video❤. When Datastar V3 comes out, can you make another video about Datastar? Datastar announced that there will be significant python sdk changes and now im just w8ing for it to drop. Love your channel ❤

[viniciustersi]

Thanks, that was really a necessary video!

[dinobaurier]

Thank you very much for that video. This was probably a lot of effort if you had to check source codes. Anyway this package seems to be really an interesting alternative.

A Datastar + Django series is coming....!!!!

[el-gatooow]

bug, seria legal fazer o CRUD completo e também como afetaria a tabela de dados e filtros dinâmicos também, como por gênero. Obrigado pelo conteúdo valioso!

[matyloque]

Deberías hacer una introducción a Django async, mostrando por ejemplo el envío de correos sin detener el flujo de la request

[ioannp.]

Still having mixed feelings about that library - it looks significantly more complex comparing to HTMX, while potentially more powerful

[anouarbagent]

Great video as always I have a question regarding datastar, are all the functionnlities of HTMX & AlpineJS combined on this single bundle or not ?

[gardnmi]

how difficult is this with just htmx alone?

[SpeedCodesAgencyAcademy]

thanks, what is your opinion to use datastar with fastapi? just sending and receive JSON?

[abdrahim]

Thanks
can you do a video of how to use inertia with django

[trosgate]

The only real world problem we are gonna face with htmx is that when a user disables JavaScript in their browser, htmx may not work as expected, unless we boost the hx request. Is datastar gonna face similar issue, how do we go around it?

Django templates partials would have simplified by avoiding creation of a new partial template.
