I doubt it – I haven't seen any indication of HTMX being a silver bullet. Here's your list of examples: https://htmx.org/examples/ https://htmx.org/examples/

Here's your list of examples: https://htmx.org/examples/ https://htmx.org/examples/
Here's validation: https://htmx.org/docs/#validation-example https://htmx.org/docs/#validation-example
It looks kinda like ruby.
- user32456 3y agoI'd argue that neither is any particular JS framework a silver bullet. If HTMX works for their use cases without needing to write any JS then more power to them!
- renerick 3y agoIt is explicitly NOT a silver bullet https://htmx.org/essays/when-to-use-hypermedia/#hypermedia-not-a-good-fit-if https://htmx.org/essays/when-to-use-hypermedia/#hypermedia-n...
- benatkin 3y agoI'd like to point out that if you require offline functionality in one project that it likely isn't a good fit for your other project that doesn't require offline functionality. We all have finite time and it's great to learn something once and be able to use it multiple times.
- renerick 3y agoOffline functionality naturally requires client-side code to handle storage, caching, synchronization etc, so client oriented frameworks are preferable in those scenarios. However, this comes at the cost of additional complexity, and I argue that this complexity may be unnecessary and htmx may help you achieve your goals easier You said it yourself: > We all have finite time and it's great to learn something once and be able to use it multiple times. We all have finite time and it's great to use tools that help us work efficiently, following the strengths of those tools, instead of having to maintain unnecessarily complex solutions
