I have a plan to create a more minimum starter template based on Pakai framework.
May call it "Inti", which stands for core in Malay based on Bing translate.
It translates to "Teras" in Google translate but I prefer "Inti".

Build a wizard

I have been thinking of the similar idea for a while as a plug-in library or tool.

I always unable to decide on which frontend UI and library to use.

Even though I am not good in jquery but it is what I feel more comfortable to work with.

I am thinking to create version 1 which is still based on boostrap4 + jquery and version 2 will be based on bootstrap5 + htmx.

The wizard will be in a web interface.

Pakai Server v6.00 development has started.
This version aims to include MiniHtml library to generate the html files and attempt to remove jQuery to build the frontend.

After trying to build with Metis template, I found it is not mobile friendly.
Now I am making next attempt with TailAdmin (Tailwind CSS + AlpineJS)
UI generated using MiniHtml library.

Next version of Pakai Server v6.36 will integrate back WebApiUtils to become a Rest API server.

The heavy work is now on the migration of Bootstrap v4 which used jQuery to Bootstrap v5 + HTMX in HelpHandler.

This is a very challenging task especially making HTMX work to support http calls using dynamic URL.

There are also many breaking UI changes and differences between Bootstrap v4 and v5.

HelpHandler is an underrated class that deserved a better recognition.
I am thinking to take it out from Pakai Server template and make it as an optional module.
In fact, the latest version of Pakai Server v6 is not yet integrated with the HelpHandler.

I think need to create a new tool.

Sync Modules and Libraries

Maybe this has been asked before. I wish B4J has functions (either): 1. Enable auto-sync of Modules and Libraries where an option is checked in menu Tools -> IDE Options or 2. Add a sync button in Modules and Libraries similar to Files Manager tab. Additionally, we can use hotkeys combination...

With the release of the 6.70, your 6.60 series b4xtemplates also need to be updated

Maybe yes.

This Starter template is not an "official" release or consider as a "test". I am not sure if anyone prefer this template.
It is to show that it is possible to read static html files (like it used to be in version 5.xx or below) compatible with the latest EndsMeet library and WebApiUtils.

In fact, version 6.xx is not designed for (or not suppose to work with) raw html files.
Therefore the latest API documentation (HelpHandler) is not supported for this template.

I always try to make Pakai Server template as modular as possible or "loosely coupled".

Maybe I should make this version as v5.60 or v7. :)

I have planned to update the core Pakai Server template with some code borrowed from the Starter template such as the LoadFromCache sub.
