And to take this analogy further, adding HTMX to a traditional web framework or switching to Phoenix LiveView is like jacking up the whole house and moving it to a better spot in an afternoon, which is what my coworker’s family did to their first home the week they bought it after moving to the US. If you don’t know it can’t be done…
- dreyfan 5y agoPhoenix Liveview is far more similar to a python or ruby app. You just have a websocket keeping things synced perfectly and maintaining state. It’s awesome, yes, but it’s quite orthogonal to the nodejs/npm way of doing things. It’s far better.

- porker 5y ago> which is what my coworker’s family did to their first home the week they bought it after moving to the US Tangential to this thread but... why? I'm asking from a country where that is not a done thing, and where heave and shrinkage under foundations cause enough problems without even thinking of moving them.

It sounds insane to me, too, but I'm the kind of person who waffles over which foundation engineering firm to call just to get an estimate.
