Michael #4: Datastar

Sent to us by Forrest Lanier
Lots of work by Chris May
Out on Talk Python soon.
Official Datastar Python SDK
Datastar is a little like HTMX, but
- The single source of truth is your server
- Events can be sent from server automatically (using SSE)
  - e.g yield SSE.patch_elements( f"""{(#HTML#)}{datetime.now().isoformat()}""" )
Why I switched from HTMX to Datastar article
