htmx is a very different way of developing your web application. You can define a lot of behaviour inside your HTML with the new attributed added by htmx. This allows you to build an interactive website without using any JavaScript. You do need a REST API that returns HTML though.

For more information about HTMX you can read the htmx docs.

Thanks for sharing. I'll have a read when I finally get back to my pc

Cool concept, especially with making pure HTML feel responsive, but API endpoints returning HTML is definitely impractical for large applications. I wonder if XSS is a concern by default.

Yeah, talk about tight coupling, it's like the opposite of graphql

There's no coupling because there isn't really a front-end to couple with 👍
