Nothing magic about htmx or hypermedia: you still need to organize your code properly, and there are tasks for which it is not suited:

However, in many case, it can be much simpler architecture than alternative approaches:

I disagree about the magical part :)

It is truly refreshing to see how simple web development can be when using htmx instead of a full spa framework.

I do full stack (angular, aspnet core, mssql) development in my daytime job. It can be... tiresome. Past couple of years i've built a soundcloud-like app using htmx, nodejs, express, mysql. Loved every minute.

Thank you for all your effort on htmx.

Edit: spelling.
