I am burnt out (but recovering!) with web dev and htmx is what I am using for my project.

Django, DRF, Postgres, tailwind and HTMX.

I am so tired of all the front end frameworks and all the complexity that gets added. At some point I think you need it and you get returns from it but hearing more people in the industry recognize and talk about how JS everything isn't always the answer gives me hope.

I like what HTMX has to offer and I am excited to see it continue to get air time.

Makes me smile because everything old is new again. This is very similar to features MooTools had like 10+ years ago before JSON took off big.

htmx keeps getting posted here and choosing it comes down to "do you trust that your user's internet is stable" IMO. For a lot of interactive web apps, the answer is no, and htmx is not a good fit.

howdy, I'm the creator of htmx, happy to talk about it

hx-post .. what? hx-put .. what? hx-delete .. what?

I stopped scrolling as soon as I noticed I have to ask myself what am I posting to this URL?

Maybe digging deeper I could find the reference docs explaining in very vague terms where the payload is coming from. But this was supposed to be simple.

how would htmx handle application like pages? for example, something along the lines of google spreadsheets? Where each cell is interactive.
