19 days agoI use HTML5, css3 and vanilla js… haven’t seen a web dev project in years that actually needed to be an application. for the odd moment where I need interactive controls htmx comes to the rescue. I’ve built a few actual web applications using both react and angular before and can tell you nothing is more amazing than not having to deal with npm anymore. don’t get me started on downloading all backend state into browser cache just to change the color of a button ;-)
its nice of them to anounce that they’ve taken the first step to monetize the users they have. Certainly not going to use whatever it is they have to offer.
