Alexander Petros gives a talk at Big Sky Dev Con about the pitfalls of government software modernization, criticizing single-page apps and the expensive treadmill of rebuilding systems every decade, using California's BenefitsCal portal as a cautionary example.

A blog post that humorously builds a minimal 'worst' clone of the htmx library, showing how to recreate its core behavior (triggers, fetches, and swaps) in vanilla JavaScript.

A guide on building progressively enhanced forms using htmx, covering techniques like transient state management with form values, query parameters, and button detection.

The Misago forum project explains its decision to remove React.js and adopt HTMX for UI interactivity, citing reduced complexity, better performance, and easier customization.

This blog post by Alex Edwards explains how to integrate HTMX with Go for server-side rendered web applications, covering template structure, partial responses, redirects, and error handling.

The author shares a concrete example of using Claude AI to debug a parsing regression in hyperscript, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of AI-assisted development and cautioning against over-reliance.

The article explores HTMX, a library that favors server-rendered HTML over JavaScript-heavy frontends. The author finds HTMX useful for persistent UI components but ultimately decides to roll their own solution due to personal preference for minimal dependencies.

Carson Gross (htmx creator) argues that while AI has made code generation cheaper, understanding code has become more expensive, and warns developers against the 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' trap of letting LLMs generate unmanageable complexity. He advocates for incremental LLM use and maintaining deep understanding of codebases.

Nutrepedia is a nutrition information tool available in 29 locales, built using Clojure and Htmx.
