I had simple online tool with nice simple design getting 5-7k visitors a day. It was ranked top3-top5 in most regions.
But few months ago google just shadowbanned it and now showing alternatives with bazillion ads.
It always feels wrong that websites with hard navigation and long useless texts that have high average time wasted (spent) will rank higher than human friendly one.
In last 1.5 year I realised that even people with some knowledge can be barbarians.
Even tech people in russia voluntarily go to war to destroy Ukraine and kill as much ukrainians as they can.
I tried htmx, but syntax is horrible, so 3 years ago I've created uajax universal Ajax forms and js-ajax-button.
Add class to any form and it is ajaxed.
I even released it on github
The js-ajax-button has similar approach. Add class to button that have data-url and it will make request to it.
This is small func I use, but with uajax is so powerful, I don't need react or htmx.
But it is hard to sell something that eliminates using javascript.
According to bible you can be single or have family, be happy or miserable. The matters is to not commit sins.
