I use it for a rewrite I'm doing because tracking state on both back- and front-end got too cumbersome.

I'm using Django, and a big positive of using unpoly is that I can write views like a traditional Django application and have a reactive frontend.

It does mean however that heavy pages impact front-end reactivity. So if there's only one tiny element that needs to be updated on the front-end, that takes more time than if the backend would only have to return a template partial (htmx) or some JSON (alpine).

Also, the documentation is really a reference. You need it read it front to back a few times to understand unpoly's capabilities.

It's strange that there are so few tutorials about it, because it's been around for a while already, it really has its use and it is still under active development.



How does it work with Javascript deactivated? In theory it should work that way, isn't it?
