#2I recently used intercooler to implement a small feature in a django app. It was an absolute pleasure to use.

#3I see someone read the front-end discussion. I am reading the guide to IC.js and it's a neat piece of tooling.

#4I'm surprised this needs jQuery. What this seems to be is a simple script that fetches a resource and places it into an element. I really feel opposed to adding more dependencies where they aren't required. That could be written without jQuery or this library fairly easily.

#5I love that you can use this without having to build anything with babel/webpack. Given the scope of my web apps, anything that transpiles or mutates my sourcecode is a non starter because it makes debugging it weird since I'm not looking at my own code anymore.

#6I was a long time pjax/turbolinks user but always felt like I was pushing the boundaries of what these technologies were doing and always wished for more functionality.
I tried out several client side frameworks but always felt like it was way overkill for the apps I built.
I gave intercooler.js a try a few months ago and was extremely pleased. There's very little server side that's required and the extra functionality I had wanted from pjax was there.
If you're wanting the simplicity of server side rendering plus the feel of an SPA without the frontend complexity give this library a try.

#7It would be cool if this could some how use DOM diffing (I assume it just uses innerHTML now), so you'd get minimal dom updates with the advantages of doing everything server-side that this already provides you. Throw in some smart service worker caching and you get pretty close to the responsiveness of a fully client-side approach.

Have you tried to use source maps?

#9I am happy to see this featured on the front page. I am using this for a current project after coming off an Angular project. I am so glad I chose this. It is simple to use and a pleasure to work with.
