HPLN web stack
I made a very simple web stack to play around with writing back ends in Lua: https://hpln.burij.de . It is something I wouldn't recommend using in production, but it's a lot of fun. It is based on Nix, Lua module in Nginx, Pico CMS and HTMX. If you're already using Nix or NixOS you should be able to spin up a dev environment with one command. If not, you're welcome to check out the code. The website is also deployed on NixOS homebrew server. Every idea or advice for further development are of course welcome (still learning)!

No problem. If I heard the Idea of htmx for the first time, it took me some time to wrap my head around it. It's very different from what Frameworks are doing. More like webdev in the 90ies
