Interesting article, but isn't the main HTMX use-case mostly where you want to make server do most of the work, that is Remotely? As you literally render its responses directly - HTMX pages and fragments - instead of doing HTML -> JSON -> HTML gymnastics. Using paradigm of this kind to build local/client-first apps sounds weird.

This is interesting exactly because making everything come from the server (like htmx) saves oneself from having to do another frontend, but it has a disadvantage: it does not work offline. While many traditional SPA fail miserably at working offline, there is no such limitation in SPA land. It is a valid concern for htmx, and it is good that there are options. Addressing the limitation is precisely the point.

I think it would be nice to be able to use APIs that only return JSON, and be able to hx-swap in some text that comes from a specified JSON object/key... but the htmx developer has made it very clear to me that they are intentionally, ideologically allergic to JSON.
