   I used to write Leptos, but abandoned it. I hoped the experience would get better, it took a lot of memory just for the language server to validate especially. Web apps become too cumbersome to maintain in bigger distributed teams where we want fast feedback. I think writing web apps in straight rust will always be niche. There's not many frontend devs who write React or Vue who want to write straight Rust just because of safety or performance.

   That&#x27;s why I created SnapFire FSR (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.snapfirers.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.snapfirers.com), but many examples, to allow frontend devs to develop in their favorite framework (or mixture of). Write Tera templates, Web Components if you don&#x27;t want to bring in frameworks like I tend to. Don&#x27;t need to pay massive switching costs which, even with, AI not fun.

   I found it much better to create and maintain web apps near the markup and language they originated from. You won&#x27;t find me writing straight Rust for Web Apps unless I need to anymore.

   I&#x27;m going to continue to work on this and switch all my leptos and svelte sites over.

      I hope I&#x27;m not discouraging you with what I&#x27;m writing. This looks to me like a cool project&#x2F;idea. Unfortunately the landing page just immediately made me uninterested when I tried reading the text.

      I think the reason for that is, the text to me feels immediately AI generated which evokes a feeling of &quot;the human didn&#x27;t care enough to do the easiest part, which is to describe their project themselves&quot;.
