Ben Croker from PutYourLightsOn is back for a second appearance on CraftEntries. This time, he talks about Datastar, the hypermedia framework he joined six months ago and has been working on full-time ever since.
The idea: keep all state on the back end, drive the front end from there, and write your logic in Twig instead of JavaScript. For Craft developers comfortable with Twig, that is a compelling proposition. Ben explains how Datastar differs from his own Sprig plugin, where it makes sense for agencies, and why getting started is less about learning and more about unlearning.
