Go & HTMX is the simplicity I miss - Golang Tutorial

In this video, we explore how to build a dynamic, SPA-like website using Go and HTMX, perfect for developers tired of complex JavaScript libraries. We'll create a simple HTTP server in Go, render HTML, and fetch data from the PokeAPI to display Pokémon cards. You'll learn how to handle user input with basic HTML forms and make seamless updates using HTMX. This tutorial is ideal for those looking to simplify their development process while maintaining a high-quality user experience. For detailed code and explanations, check out the blog post linked below. Let's dive in!

I don't get how this doesn't have more views, I know this is very simple yet this is very simple short and sweet. Nice video! Hopefully we see a more involved Go & Htmx app in the future with db and all the bells and whistles! 😃
