I still remember a time when recursivedoubts posted about intercooler.js which is the predecessor to htmx, and almost every comment was dismissive and a varition of “what’s the point of this?”.

It seems now the majority of commenters are positive about htmx now and I feel happy for recursivedoubts.

Most web applications today would benefit from using htmx more than JavaScript-heavy frameworks with the exception of applications like Figma and the like of it.
