Congrats and thanks! htmx brings me joy.
Pretty much every experiment I build now starts with Go, htmx, and SQLite to keep things simple and fast but still responsive.
I put a few more thoughts about this here:

I call it the GOSH stack (Go Sqlite Htmx) but HUGS is good too.
If you want a prototype fast, don't you use an LLM?
And if you do, why start with a simpler framework?
Oh wow, interesting combo that I would never independently reach for, but thanks to your template I might have to give it a whirl!
I also like the same stack, as it plays very well with a terminal focus workflow.
Agreed.
In fact, I find Django and Postgres to be the best solution for htmx but Go stack is probably almost as good in terms of developer velocity and obviously much faster. So I think that's a good solution.
You can really build powerful production apps with htmx, and what people underestimate is how good it is with AI assisted development (Claude understands it and does it well, and if any JS glue logic on a specific template is required, it's pretty well written and not a mess).
