i would very much like for htmx to not have to exist and just have the functionality subsumed into the HTML spec

it wouldn't be much work

Hey thanks for taking the time to reply. Have you maybe got in touch with hacker-friendly browsers such as nyxt? There may be some interested people over there.

Also, is there some good venues to discuss the semantic/declarative web with you htmx folks and hopefully people from other like-minded projects? IRC? XMPP? Matrix?

Sorry for the delayed reponse: nope, never talked w/ the nyxt folks. I tried to post a topic on the working group thingie but they, understandably, weren't very receptive.

We use discord for chat right now:

https://htmx.org/discord

Well the good thing about nyxt is it's super extensible so a PoC doesn't require proper "reception" on their side.

Do you maybe have a gateway/bridge to a libre network such as IRC/XMPP/Matrix? I find HTMX pretty interesting but i wouldn't touch discord with a 10-foot pole, if only because my limited computing resources won't allow for such a resource-hungry app to run in the background.

It seems like matterbridge supports discord backend but i don't have a discord account to try it with. If you're not willing to host matterbridge, i'm already hosting one and i would just need credentials to try and connect it to Discord. If you're willing to give that a try, feel free to mail me at my username @ thunix.net.
