> it's actually specifically for server-rendered content and using it for front-end development doesn't actually add much

It's for server-rendered content that can be used to build a frontend app. I know because I've done it several times.

> I would also have to write custom JS for the functions I would try to invoke with htmx

The difference is with invokers you would have to re-implement everything from scratch and with htmx you typically only need to implement some parts that it doesn't handle, like eg listening to a DOM event and doing some action in response.

lol. oh boy! everything from scratch! must reimplement the whole library even though I don't package server responses for injection.

glad you're enjoying your framework, friend!

  • Thanks. I love it when people make incorrect claims, I reply with corrections, and get condescending comments in return.

    • oh, sweet! happy to condescend to self-important, non-engaging, reply guys who think they know more than the actual implementers. so pleased I could help! if you'd like to return the favor, please shut up. but don't let that make you think I won't enjoy the snarky response you won't be able to help yourself from following up with, anyway. I take people as they come, friend.
