Carson is so amazingly down to earth and sensible. The whole web development world gets a jolt with his library and ... "yeah, I don't really do a whole lot of web development"

Honestly, htmx with vanilla php is looking really tempting these days.

This is my current stack lol 😊 PHP 8.0 + HTMX v2 = ❤

Really good devs embrace simplicity, it's so good to see people aiming to simple and effective instead of abstract code acrobatics to create stuff.

Using a combination of htmx and a UI heavy weight framework is incredibly powerful. You cover basically all your bases. Htmx would be in control of the vast majority of your UI, and the UI heavy weight framework will only be used when you need that need that highly dynamic client side UI that would otherwise suffer from a round trip to the server. It's great stuff!

Carson looks like a very cool guy. I wish I had such proffesors at college

Carson hits the trifecta again … baseball hat with St. Louis Cardinals logo, camouflage, and flannel. I love htmx!

I can't remember where else I said this, but I had thought of something like HTMX back in the mid-'00s, and I'm just glad that someone else wasn't as lazy as I was. I haven't used HTMX for any projects yet, but I'm considering it for one, and I recommended a friend look into HTMX.

Syntax was always a side project for us. Now that it’s our main gig we were able to hire a producer and up our game.

HTMX is so unbelievably useful, simple and logical that it just exposes how clunky most JS frameworks have become.

htmx2? 😮

A bit surprised that anyone puts Elixir and Liveview on the table since it's like HTMX on steroids

I finally finished the HTMX version of Wes's sick fits! Changed the theme to be my own so it wasn't a one to one carbon copy of the UI - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9lglLCqsqelmmg.html

Thanks that was fun to watch

HTMX is JS. You feel like is HTML while coding, but is simply javascript.

@yamlcase230 2 ай бұрын

while technically true, this statement feels a little pedantic. htmx is an engine to make what any of us old farts wished SSI could do 30 years ago. Engine has to be written in something, and really the only rational language to write that in is JavaScript because ubiquity.

Yep, in the same sense of a wheel, that works into a car as well as into a train. Both complete a similar job, despite that it performs in a completely different way. In the end, everything is JS, just running out of the browser! Hahaha
