- intrasight 3y agoHadn't considered it before, but thinking about it now, I can see that a brilliant name choice probably played a big role in the traction that it's had.
- recursivedoubts 3y agoironically I originally rejected it in favor of "kutty": https://htmx.org/posts/2020-5-17-kutty-er-htmx-0-0-3-is-released/ https://htmx.org/posts/2020-5-17-kutty-er-htmx-0-0-3-is-rele... better to be lucky than good, I guess
- intrasight 3y agoI, for one, am glad that you didn't release a self-harm framework ;)
