Htmx 4.0, the first JavaScript library to release exclusively on the Game Boy

Re: Htmx 4.0, the first JavaScript library to release exclusively on the Game Boy
#52HTMX is awesome. I've replaced several OSS web apps on my home server with HTMX + Go + PostgreSQL replacements. The results are lightweight, responsive, work great on desktop and mobile alike, all with the absolute minimum complexity required. The codebases are easy to understand and modify, and so far I'm going months between updates (mostly just minor bugfixes for my applications). I fully expec my mature apps will…
Are any of these open source? I've gone down the go/htmx/pg path lightly a few times and I haven't loved the feel of it, but maybe I'm doing it wrong. I think just server side templating just starts feeling icky in go so maybe I'm just missing a good pattern or library.
I wrote specifically about this, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48915935

How much did this cost to make/produce?
Whatever it cost, he also gave out free copies at BSDC, what an unbelievably cool and nice thing to do
"Big Sky Dev Con", not "Better Software Conference" for those who were (like me) initially confused. :)
Someone commented in the past few days that the most impressive demo they saw in a conference was LibreOffice running on Fil-C, and I agreed.
However, this took the #1 spot from it (leaving that previous demo in #2) in my opinion. Very impressive, and nostalgic too.

Did you use the built in GB studio sound engine? If so that's my code :) Always enjoyable when it pops up in places like this. Looks like a fun project.
Yes, we did. It was a blast using that to make the sounds and music. Got really good at using it by the end of the project. You can listen to the trailer music here. Let me know what you think. https://www.youtube.com/live/9ubSJGyB21Q?si=sz-8pxPs6zxVYMfY...
Haha, awesome. And I like all the wacky Mario Land 2 references :)

#55I've been using htmx for three years now, and it's completely unlocked new ways of building software for the web, especially if you use a server-side templating language. But more importantly (as this "Game Boy" option reveals), the head honcho is really responsive with the items in the store. I had purchased a coffee mug a few years back and complained on Twitter that they need to sell larger mugs instead of only of…
Exactly, I just released another project made with htmx and it's almost like you can't beat that velocity.

I personally find react overly engineered for my projects - vuejs (+quasar on top) is just great. Granted a little boring perhaps, but it just works, behaves as you'd expect, and doing anything just isn't that difficult.
Quasar is amazing. But I dislike their Material design components. Would be perfect otherwise.
Wish they would decouple styling from everything else.
Have a default you can import? Absolutely, that makes sense
But styling by default they you have to make complicated overrides for? That’s the part that gets me

#57I’m amazed at how cheap this is. How is this possible for what I’m assuming is a relatively low-volume physical product? I don’t suppose it’s produced on-demand, but also Carson Gross probably doesn’t have 1000 of these boxes at his home, or I would have seen the pics on twitter.

(Me not taking this seriously) I personally find Postgres WAY easier than SQLite simply because of the deployment story. I do a lot of hotfixes and dangerous stuff on personal projects, and having two databases complicates that tremendously. I like being able to run hot code on prod. For the record, this is not the same reason I like postgres for actual production code
Sorry can you please clarify what you mean by having two databases? You can share the same SQLite between applications if you really want
I think they mean that they actually do need Postgres for some of their projects, and it's easier to just use Postgres for everything, than to use Postgres for some things and SQLite for others.

Tell me about it. I made a joke about the store selling 'Complexity Bad' onesies, and he started selling them later that day. https://x.com/scumitchell/status/1886825775560528069?s=20
That's amazing!
