My last interactive blog post, from a couple of years ago, went down really well, so thought you might like this one!

It's a cool idea but it is laggy to the point of unusable on my Android phone running Firefox (it's a budget phone but I don't have this issue with any other sites).
Also Firefox on mobile, and I have zero issues (on this blog or the last linked one) on a pixel 4a.

Perhaps it's related to android version, Firefox version or constraints imparted by your budget phone, but it's not a mobile layout//Firefox specific problem as far as I can tell (and I have like a dozen add-ons installed now that we can install from the full Firefox catalog).

This is great! thank you - it inspires me that I need to do same.

What are your thoughts on HTMX, how would that play when your using the Tailwinds stuff? (sorry, I am not familiar enough to perhaps use precise nomenclature on these two - but just curious on your thought on HTMX as it would relate to your post?

Thanks!

I always enjoy playing with new tech, and HTMX looks fun, though I wouldn't use it for anything serious. If you're looking for something fun and simple, I'd 100% recommend using Svelte on Astro, they're both a joy to use.

I built this with Next.js to learn, because I use it at work, and need to stay 100% up to date when I'm educating others. It also just has such a huge ecosystem which is hard to match.

Tailwind's Catalyst UI kit only supports React, so it wouldn't work I'm afraid!
