For one thing, it seems like it wouldn't gracefully degrade in functionality if JavaScript was disabled or unavailable. With htmx you can use its HX-Request header to check whether a request is from htmx or not, and serve a partial HTML or a full page accordingly. So no matter the circumstances, you can maintain a good user experience.

It's just a weird feeling for someone to use a hack / experiment as a foundation or something. I know 'the software is provided "as is ", without warranty'.

The difference with htmx is that they are more polished.

I would caution against using HTMX in production, either, from personal experience.

I've been looking for someone to write a negative htmx experience analysis to host on the essays page:

i don't want people to pick htmx if it's going to be a bad choice for their particular application, would be happy to work w/ you to get something put together
