It was a genuine question. I’ve implemented infinite scrolling in HTMX and it’s quite easy, another commenter posted an example from the HTMX docs and it’s a couple of lines of html.
Another example is filtered goods at the local electronics store webfront. Progressive loading without ability to go directly to page 7 wastes my time if I know that what I need is there as each load of 10 items takes time. But of course this pattern increases some shitty OKR in time-spent-on-website. Hate this.
