re: downstream users, I'm extremely concerned w/backwards compatibility (htmx 1.x is IE11 compatible and will be supported in perpetuity, as is intercooler.js, its predecessor), the library is dependency free, it works with any kind of back-end you'd like and doesn't demand any particular type of build system.
The library is BSD-0 licensed to maximize its usefulness and I do a deep dive on the implementation here:

I've written a book on htmx and the broader ideas of hypermedia you can read for free here:

and I have a series of essays on hypermedia and related topics here:
