- I made a website in HTMX (https://raku.org) to celebrate that I can use my preferred language on the server side. It’s no frills, generally static and HTMX is just to goose up some of the UX dynamism. It was a very nice experience and I recommend https://htmx.org/examples for the kind of cool things you can do. otoh, I would not build Google Maps with this tool :-)
- HTMX seems mature enough for prime time, but for some reason, not yet popular enough that a subset of HN users seem to discover it anew 1-2 times each year: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=htmx

- If I had a nickel for every time Htmx popped up on HN…
- I just cant say enough how much I love HTMX. I got my feet wet doing hotwire/turbo in rails, and htmx is really just such a wonderful expansion of thise ideas. Making reactive app experiences on the web with a tiny js bundle and just writing html feels how web programming should be. I am writing a UI with Spring Boot + Thymleaf + HTMX and Alpine JS, and its the smoothest java based web dev experience ive had in so long. I can look at a page I write in HTMX, and I KNOW if I wrote that in react or angular or vue it would be 50x more complex.

- I would probably not build an actual app with HTMX but I found it to be excellent for just making a completely static page feel more dynamic. I'm using it on my two blogs and it makes the whole experience feel much snappier and allows me to carry through an animation from page to page.
The amount of custom stuff I needed to add was minimal (just mostly ensuring that if network is gone, it falls back to native navigation to error out).
Examples: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/ and https://dark.ronacher.eu/
I also found Claude to be excellent at understanding HTMX so that definitely helps.
- Eternal HTMX September.
- My main headache is how LLMs are having a hard time with using HtmX as v1, v2, and v4 alpha are all different enough to make debugging hard.
- I have nothing but good things to say about htmx, both at work and on several personal projects. It really does boost productivity!

- I tried HTMx a while ago and felt like I hit a limit pretty quickly where things were getting buggy and it was hard to track down why.
Now I'm building a linear.app replacement with Claude and Codex working on Django + HTMx + Alpine.js and its going great. Feels a lot more 'snappy' than the default UIs they build with React and so far they've been able to fix every bug and implement some pretty complex drag-drop stuff and other UI niceness that seems pretty stable.
Still have to see if it collapses in a pile of slop at some point / size or if this is how to build software now.

- Htmx is not for HTML. Htmx is for javascript. Htmx without javascript is nothing.
