Great news! I'm not using the full feature set (e.g. hyperscript) but really like the general approach as opposed to usual suspects like react or svelte. One of my last projects runs just fine on htmx + 3-4 stimulusjs controllers for all interactivity

EU Law Disagrees. Feel free to Geoblock the entire market if you disagree. Many small news sites in the states do this.

So you equate laws protecting individuals against businesses and laws protecting government against individual, really?

ASP had some strange things where you could write what looked like a client side handler on a button and it would call a function in the server. Circa 2007 or so it seemed a to be a huge mistake because it didn’t play well with the so-called “model-view-controller” paradigm where, most importantly, the request handler could decide which view to render. (e.g. you fill out a form and if you mad a mistake it redraws the…
The "beauty" of ASP was (is?) that it could be so many wonderful things. For me it was inheriting a codebase that was basically many HTML pages with VBScript AND JScript dynamic parts, in the same file. Imagine what everyone was saying about spaghetti PHP intermixed with HTML - but with 2 backend languages plus HTML and CSS, at least that was early enough that clientside JS was limited to changing images on hover...
Aaaah php, cpanel and html/js : the mother of all buzzwords: serverless server side rendering.

#146I've been a HTMX fan "since before was cool".. Very happy for the recent attention and "success". Also enjoying the shitposting and backlash mostly from the front-end crowd who believe the Web was invented in 2013 and they "made that city". :) I'm biased since the time Backbone.js came around, I understood part of the pain but was moderately skeptical, fast forward to React with the young energetic bros building dead…
Do you think that the frontend crowd similarly thinks that you build dead simple 5 page websites with a Rube Goldberg setup of back-end frameworks?
I certainly do.

You disagreeing with something doesn't make it wrong. I'm sorry, but people in other parts of the world have a right to be forgotten, no matter how much you want to pretend they do not.

Re: Htmx is part of the GitHub Accelerator
#148I've a hard time taking htmx serious for building a modern web app/site. It makes is impossible to build features that users have come to expect: * Faceted search with configurable filters, like filter date on before, between or after, but only show the filter if the user wants it. * Configure result view with different columns or even different views like maps or drawing something on a canvas like charts. You can ma…
from my limited understanding, any non trivial client state will require legwork in htmx, right ?
Depends on the framework and what you're using to render the html with. For example, in PHP Swytch Framework, you can just `$this->rerender($state)` in an api response.

Had an heated debate with someone that was really angry at everything react, for good reasons, but being oblivious that htmx can't replace client side logic. React hype + backend crowd I guess.
as a primarily backend dev I really don't see the appeal here. So now I need to make endpoints for every little UI element that I want to be updated by user interactions? And somehow keep it styled and matching all of the UI elements rendered on the frontend? No thanks, I'll just give you data and you can present it however you please.
Most applications that would leverage this (e.g. server-side rendered Rails or Laravel or Django) already have those templates as partials for their views, so leveraging the functionality is trivial.
Re: Htmx is part of the GitHub Accelerator
#150Great news. I have had good success and a rewarding experience using htmx the past year. It has been so great in tandem with Clojure using hiccup for SSR. Once htmx clicks for you, you are almost left stunned by how simple and flexible it is. You can't believe that this isn't how HTML evolved to as a hypermedia. It becomes very obvious that this is how web development should have evolved. I hope someday that what htm…
>You can't believe that this isn't how HTML evolved to as a hypermedia.
That is why I wish HTMX to be merged into HTML5 spec. For something like 98%+ of the web it will be good enough. You then have a small JS library for the other 1.9%.
The 0.1% left is just pure JS Web Apps.
