A simple webtool for generating and converting UUIDv4

This project was built as a proof of concept for integrating HTMX and Astro for a straightforward development stack using only JavaScript.

The purpose was to not use any front-end frameworks and avoid using custom JavaScript and CSS files as much as possible. Why?

• Proving that apps can still be interactive without using a bloated framework
• Simplifying state management, by using HTML as the state itself
• Delegating rendering to the server to avoid unnecessary in-memory DOM representations
• Because its fun to try stuff

This project attempts to emulate some of shadcnui's components using only HTML and Hyperscript. While I would't necessarily recommend doing this in an actual product, its a fun experiment.

Build With

• Astro: SSR and HTML templating
• HTMX: Swapping HTML request results
• Hyperscript: Defining component behavior in HTML
• Tailwind: Styling with utility classes
