If I understand the code for these correctly though, you're not actually doing the "idiomatic" datastar things as the article describes? No diffing/patching individual elements, just rerender the entire page?

Tbh that mental model seems so much simpler than any or all of the other datastar examples I see with convoluted client state tracking from the server.

Would you build complex apps this way as well? I'd assume this simple approach only works because the UI being rendered is also relatively simple. Is there any content I can read around doing this "immediate mode" approach when the user is navigating across very different pages with possibly complicated widget states needing to be tracked to rerender correctly?
