Why do I hear so much about htmx and so little about unpolly, which seems everything htmx promise but with additional high level primitives for the common task?

- omnimus 4y agoUnpoly dev is german nobody cares about abd doesnt go on podcasts vs htmx author is american that does marketing well. Same goes for alpine js where the author is “famous” dev. Pretty typical with open source projects tbh. Many of them win thanks to marketing more than anything else.
- diordiderot 4y agoAlso Htmx got picked up early by the Django community
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoDon't why you have been downvoted, while there are famous dev outside of the US, american identity and marketting does sell better than the german one.
- omnimus 4y agoIts also easier to be comfortable on a english podcast when you are a native speaker. Plus i think US devs understand how important marketing is more than anybody else.
