Not my project, but this was recently released and I thought it was really cool. It’s only 5KB when compressed and feels a bit simpler/more automatic than HTMX.
Also natively handles prefetching on hovering links, has transitions, and comes with a loading bar.

Nice, but feels like it has really narrow use case. Probably excellent for blogs, landing pages, maybe news sites. But I’m afraid anything more interactive would be a nightmare… although I wish to be proven wrong.
The library in the post itself is pretty new, so I don’t think there are any real examples out there aside from the website advertising it.
That said, its idea of sending HTML from the backend and showing it in the frontend isn’t new - HTMX has been pretty popular the past few years and is basically the same thing. It’s great for any type of website that doesn’t update often, so anything that isn’t a webapp or does a lot of things from the client side. There’s a popular article of a company switching from React to HTMX which simplified the code heavily.
Btw: I wish there was some showcase of example (ideally open source) websites using this framework. Might be helpful in making decision of actually using it
