For similar-goal prior-art, see Unpoly[1]. Also the IETF asks[2] that you please stop using "X-" to prepend your custom HTTP headers[3] [1] https://unpoly.com/tutorial [2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6648 [3] https://htmx.org/reference/#headers

I like unpoly a lot, Henning is a perfect gentleman, but the first check in on intercooler.js was before the first check in on unpoly:

I'm happy to change the headers htmx is young enough to get away with it. Would you like to issue a pull request?

Can you use hx-swap-oob to update multiple elements with a single call? The haiku is a nice touch!

yes, you can send down a bunch of content targeting different elements by id on the page

On the chance that the authors are here: on https://htmx.org/docs , there is a link "original web programming model" where the target is (for some reason) surrounded by parentheses, so that it points to the wrong location.

hello, I'm the creator of htmx (and originally intercooler)

I just released 0.0.4, so htmx is still very young, but it's got a decent test suite: https://htmx.org/test/0.0.4/test/

there is a nice extension mechanism:

https://htmx.org/extensions/

and some very rough docs on how to pull off pure HTML animations:

https://htmx.org/examples/animations/

happy to answer questions
