I thought htmx is just a library, does it need support by the browser?

The htmx library emulates what would be possible if browsers supported gets/posts on other html elements like buttons. It’s a library because no browser supports this natively.
Make it natively supported, watch it catch on like wildfire if the browser gets any traction with devs.
@akling i'd be happy to chat about this if you are interested in extending HTML as a hypermedia. I'm the creator of htmx, and I don't think it should have to exist: it's what HTML should have evolved into.
