I don't like where this is going. There's nothing wrong with htmx except that aggressive marketing. SPA frameworks are overused but we got there because React was pushed everywhere exactly like htmx is being pushed right now.
SPAs are useful, not for everything and certainly not for most sites, but bashing SPAs without further thought will only lead back to dark ages of smart backends, postbacks, and huge session states with impossible to scale infrastructure.
Just my 2 cents.
- recursivedoubts 2y agoi'm explicit about when htmx is and when it is not a good fit here: https://htmx.org/essays/when-to-use-hypermedia/ https://htmx.org/essays/when-to-use-hypermedia/ and try to be balanced when presenting it to people. React had/has the full marketing might of Facebook & now Vercel behind it, htmx has a marketing budget of $0 and the main marketing vehicle is me shitposting on twitter.
