While this is the least important part of this project: Htmx is great! I've used it quite extensively lately for internal tools at work. AlpineJS has also been

  Intersting. How did you work around the issue that HTMX takes snapshots of the altered DOM (by Alpinejs) for history navigation [0]? This is the biggest issue holding me back from using the two together. [0] https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/1015 https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/1015

    Basically by just being careful: because these are purely rough and ready internal tools, I can be a bit picky about what gets used where, and why. For the most part I don’t have much history navigation at all, let’s me cheat :)

    What's the advantage of using hx-boost? Just slightly smoother transitions?
    • rasso 4y ago
      With `hx-boost`, you can progressively enhance your server-rendered website to an SPA, just like with hotwire/turbo [0] or swup [1] (which I'm using a lot these days). This technique can come with a few other benefits apart from nicer page transitions, like preloading links on mouseenter and caching of visited pages.

        So it's mainly used for optimizations, and it's not a critical architectural tool for building a system. I'm looking at using htmx and Alpine in a project so my takeaway is just to avoid hx-boost and rely on the built-in browser navigation.
