I am not sure if I understand the definition of offline here. HTMX has graceful degradation options. What else could you do when the client is offline?

There are many apps that work when the user is entirely offline and HTMX is not a good option if that is a key requirement of your app. Figma is an example.

Should work if the worker behaves like a traditional backend and return/proxies html pages rather than JSON?

Likewise man. In the face of avoiding JS, I think we've both taken one for the team here

Wait til you find out I'm using htmx with node.

In which, you still need to include a JS file. I'd still count that as Javascript.

Pretty clear that they mean "avoid writing javascript," not "avoid executing javascript"

I think you mention a very valid point that is worth reiterating: Even when you enter territory where HTMX gets cumbersome for some reason, you can still use custom JS or some other library to work around it. I admit that I initially started to use HTMX to avoid JS, but I am now more comfortable than ever before to fall back to some lines of Javascript in the few cases where HTMX does not feel like a great fit to sol…

Many people don't realize that great engineering happens under constraints. When you're faced with an empty project and the full power of JavaScript, you have 5,000,000 ways to do som…

Now that you mentioned it, its clear. However I didn't interpret originally it that way.

Used it for work today. It works well and will keep using it going forward although I might make a php based version.

I did lose my work a few times when I tried to paste the json into they url load field (it requires an url) and when I couldn’t cleanvthe network request browser (feature request). Great work.

I love the concept behind htmx & started reading the book today. But every time I think about using it, I remember that I'll eventually have to support native mobile apps as well and I'll be completely re-writing not only my frontend but much of my backend to do it. I know about hyperview.org but a react-native app won't really cut it for the use cases I'm interested in.

Hey same! I made https://ratethispad.com and it was a lot of fun to make. (Nobody uses it though...) I would love to see your project as well.

Would be cool if either the zoom level I need to see reviews would be smaller (more zoomed out), or if there is a list of the reviews that exist on this page. Currently, as there are probably not many reviews on that site it is near impossible to see an example of a review.

That's because there are basically no reviews. I'm more interested in making stuff than telling people about it.

But you're right, since there are so few reviews, I could definitely decrease the zoom level required to load the reviews.
