Interested in new technology for web development?

As web developers, we're constantly seeking ways to enhance user experiences and make our applications more interactive. htmx, a new web standard, promises to revolutionize the way we build dynamic web pages. It allows us to create powerful and responsive applications without writing complex JavaScript code.


...


htmx simplifies our development workflow and reduces the amount of code we need to write. It's lightweight, easy to learn, and can be used alongside any server-side framework. By leveraging the power of HTML attributes, we can create dynamic and interactive UIs with minimal effort.

I clicked through and poked around a bit. It does look interesting. I thought that was along the lines of what HTML5 was supposed to accomplish, but that never really happened.

Oh, good point. I usually think of HTML5 from a user perspective (faster load times, better security and privacy, etc. ) but from the developer perspective, maybe it missed the mark.

Even if it did make development more streamlined when it was introduced, I wonder if it's now behind in terms of UX for developers now that so many other tools have improved their coding and deployment so much.

Very nice theme, htmx is important because it allows us to access modern browser features directly from HTML, using attributes, so we can build user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext. This saves us from having to write a lot of JavaScript code and allows us to take advantage of the technology we have on the server. Htmx definitely has a future because it is a small library, without dependencies, extensible, and that has reduced the size of the base codes or sources by 67%. Also, htmx works well with other JavaScript libraries and lets us do whatever we want in web pages.
