Changing the way I think about servers.

So, I don't consider myself to be like a super cool dev who knows exactly what they want and what is best for the project. I am still discovering new things, and I am still learning.

All my web journey, I was always in the server to client paradigm. The server sends data in JSON format the the client interprets with the help of heavy dom manipulating libraries like React, Angular, Vue, etc.

However, HTMX changed the way I think about servers. I am not saying that I am going to use it in all my projects, but I am going to use it for this one and try to implement the following in the project using

• Go (Golang)
• HTMX
• TailwindCSS
• PostgreSQL

Here's all the things I want to implement in this project: (I might have already implemented a few)

• CRUD operations
• Authentication
• Dynamic routing
• Redis Cache

What all are done? None for now. I am just starting out. I will update this as I go along.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/newtoallofthis123/noob_text/
cd noob_text
make run

You also need tailwindcss cli to compile the css. You can install it using npm.

npm install -D tailwindcss

Then, you have watch the public/input.css file and compile it to public/output.css file.

npx tailwindcss -i public/input.css -o public/output.css --watch

You will find the compiled css in public/output.css file.

Moreover, you will need to set all the environment variables in the .env file. You can use the .env.example file as a reference.
