Great UX shouldn't require a complete rewrite. Dave Mosher compares a React SPA vs HTMX for the same app.

HTMX delivers on what matters:
- Ship faster (one deployment vs two)
- Onboard developers faster (HTML + HTTP, done)
- Serve users better (works without JS)
- Keep it together (1 script vs dependency chaos)

Not about abandoning React—it's about choosing complexity only when it adds user value.

Compare the approaches:

Please Just Fucking Try HTMX

"Look. I'm not going to call you a fucking moron every other sentence. That's been done. It's a whole genre now. And honestly? HTMX doesn't need me to scream at you to make its point."

🚀 "Please Just Try HTMX" implores #developers like a 🐶 desperate for a treat, yet it's just another "sweary web manifesto" that will be ignored faster than a Chrome update. 🤷‍♂️ You'll chuckle, maybe nod, then return to untangling your spaghetti code while #HTMX collects dust. 🍝🔧

htmy 0.10 is now on PyPI!

The major feature is async HTML streaming, plus some performance improvements.

Also moved the docs to @zensical - thanks for the mkdocs config support! It made the transition super easy.

Next steps: bring async HTML streaming to FastHX (FastAPI ❤️ HTMX) and holm, to have a compelling FastAPI-based FastHTML replacement.

Working on a #web page that will have a table with five columns and 100 rows. It will have controls in each column header cell to sort the table ascending/descending by the value of that column.

Question: should I do it all in #JavaScript or should I use #HTMX and do the sorting on the server side?

Pythonを中心に使っている人なのでわかる。LLM関連はPythonライブラリが多いけど、ガワを作るのどうすんねん問題があって、自分はBulmaとHTMXになってる。CSSでBulmaは、Tailwindは肌に合わんなー、Bootstrapは古いなーという消去法で落ち着いてきた結果 #python #htmx

First talk of the day: @thbley introducing us to #HTMX for PHP developers

If anyone is doing anything with #HTMX, I have a diabolical plan to use it to embed mini-applications in my own company's software. https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/discussions/3585

@MichalBryxi Ahh ok. Then Rails, Pheonix, Laravel is what you want. They have dom updates via websockets now, so no full page reload needed.
Or go with #htmx if you don't want an entire framework.

I used monoliths and microservices. Both have advantages. Both kindof suck. It depends 🤷
