# GoStart

This is a basic starter project for building web applications using Go, Tailwind CSS, and htmx. It provides a foundation for creating interactive and responsive web applications without relying on any third-party dependencies, utilizing only the packages included with the Go language by default.

## Features

- **Go**: The project is built using Go, a powerful and efficient programming language for building scalable and high-performance applications.
- **Tailwind CSS**: Tailwind CSS is used for styling the web application, providing a utility-first CSS framework that enables rapid UI development.
- **htmx**: htmx is a lightweight library that allows you to add interactive features to your web pages without writing JavaScript, enabling server-side rendering and reducing the need for complex client-side code.
- **Bring Your Own Database**: This starter project does not include a specific database implementation, allowing you to choose and integrate the database solution that best fits your project's requirements.
