[PreInternet01]

So, I absolutely love htmx, and this new version offers some incremental improvements that make things even better (unless you were using WebSockets or server-sent events, I guess, but the plug-in model doesn't look too bad?).

Unlike all-or-nothing approaches like React, htmx allows you to add just the right amount of partial updates to your web app, using just the technologies that were already there to begin with. I realize that this approach doesn't appeal to everyone, but being able to map simple requests to simple responses was an absolute life-saver for my projects many times over.

Migrating to a truly-truly minimalist approach (see: https://www.stefanjudis.com/notes/htmz-a-176-bytes-htmx-alte...) is still on my to-do list, but for now, I'm quite happy with the htmx status quo.
