I've used htmx on several projects in the last 3-4 years and it's a success story. The only issue I've had is when onboarding other developers who don't understand the htmx mindset or wanting to strive for simplicity.

definitely a different approach & mindset, with its own tradeoffs & feel

i think we've done a decent job of getting it back into the zeitgeist though, so hopefully increasingly easy for people to at least consider nowadays

    Thanks, it's a brilliant little library. What can you tell us about version 4? I looked at the page but it's not completely clear to me.

      This post outlines what's going on (although it's a little out of date):

      Basically the core API will remain nearly identical, but we're moving the internals to fetch() which will allow us to support streaming responses, take advantage of the async infrastructure in JS to simplify things, etc.

      Hopefully most htmx users won't notice much different when they upgrade.
