Author here. For the past few years I've been writing what I like to call "Web 1.5" or somewhat old-fashioned websites for side projects. I use Go's standard library template system and try to keep most of my rendering logic on the server side. I've found that sprinkling in a little bit of JS is usually enough to make your site reasonably dynamic. For me this is fun and productive, likely because I started out with web development a long time ago before single page apps were a thing.
The message I wanted to get through by publishing this repo is that you shouldn't worry about always following the trends or doing what's "best", especially for side projects. I'm not trying to disparage modern JS stuff either, it can definitely be useful. Just work with what you're comfortable with and have fun with it!
