Alpine.JS + HTMX - Todo List Demo: This project is essentially just a basic todo list. However, the combination of Alpine.JS and HTMX shows how you can get the reactivity of a frontend JS framework without sacrificing the benefits of your server-side framework (session authentication, templating, etc).
