You asked for it: https://htmx.org https://htmx.org https://hyperscript.org https://hyperscript.org I hated angular when it first came out and couldn't believe what insanity people were willing to put up with, so long as it came from google. (e.g. GWT) I created https://intercoolerjs.org https://intercoolerjs.org out of frustration with that, and the lack of progress in HTML/hypermedia in general, so I could build a web application I was working on (https://leaddyno.com https://leaddyno.com, since sold). When covid hit I took a look back at intercooler and decided that it was really two things: HTML++ and a scripting language, so I split it up into htmx, focused just on the hypermedia angle, and hyperscript, the scripting language I wanted for the web (derived from HyperTalk, and old scripting language from HyperCard on the mac). I now use them both professionally (email me if you want to use them too.)

I love htmx, nice to see you here. I haven’t used it in anything real important but it’s a real breath of fresh air.

I love HTMX! It allows me to build interactive SSR websites without knowing JavaScript. Very well designed, thank you!

Super superficial (?), but the "press and hold" example on https://hyperscript.org/ https://hyperscript.org/ has a bug (feature? :) in that if you move away the pointer while pressing, then let go, it keeps cycling, and won't stop even if you go back and press and let go again. It will stop if you press outside the button and let go inside, so apparently the actions stack. (On Firefox Linux.)

  "Nitpicky" I think is the word you are looking for

    I found it interesting behavior and it might be important in the larger picture, thus I'm not sure it's superficial, that's why I put the question mark there. Of course I don't mean that this should take away from the appreciation of the language. I'd have made a bug ticket instead if it weren't just much simpler to mention here, also this way I'm not implying that I'm a user and waiting for a resolution.

      good find the code should be updated to: <button _="on pointerdown repeat until event stopCycling set rand to Math.random() * 255 transition *background-color to `hsl($rand 100% 90%)` over 250ms end on pointerup or mouseleave trigger stopCycling"> Click And Hold Me </button> to capture both the pointerup and mouseleave events (seems like some browsers trigger the pointerup event even if the mouse/pointer has left the element) unfortunately right now the `repeat until event` form doesn't take multiple events, so we have to kick out to another event handler to capture both. I'll try to fix that in the next release.
