Show HN: Full-stack _hyperscript Node.js TODO web app (with Htmx)

Hey HN! I think _hyperscript is an insanely cool language, and while designed for simple front-end DOM interactions, I thought it would be a cool back-end scripting language as well. So, I slapped together a TODO app with a _hyperscript bootstrapping script based on the original repository's node-hyperscript example.

My repo isn't clean, just something I worked out over a weekend to prove the concept, also an excuse to play with htmx. :)

Please read the README, and let me know how, if anyone's interested, I can work in some of my tweaks to the original repository. I'm kind of a noob with open source stuff.

    _hyperscript and htmx are both really cool technologies.

    I literally built an entire app on it using PHP that feels faster and smoother than the same thing written in React, especially on a low-end device.
