Route owners
Ktor handlers expose clear endpoints for whole pages and reusable fragments.
Team
A Ktor and htmx stack keeps the team surface area small: backend developers can ship polished HTML interactions, frontend work stays close to the markup, and tests can assert the same fragments users receive.
Markup owners
Kotlin builders keep layout, conditionals, and loops in one type-checked language.
Interaction owners
htmx attributes describe user intent directly on the elements that trigger it.
