I was replying to @moxplod because it seems they didn't know about these alternatives to pjax. They're mentioning HTMX, etc so I've added Unpoly to the list of similar things.
I'm not saying you should replace Hotwire with anything else - I wouldn't do it given it's the default or defacto solution.
But all of these tools (pjax, htmx, unpoly and hotwire) work perfectly well outside of Rails too. So if you're not using Rails and you're, for example, using Django which doesn't have a default solution then you can pick one of them, and I think Unpoly is a very nice one.
