As the op may read along the other comments, we are tired trying the new shiny thing. Now it is AI's turn to get tired or never.

Dx resources must aim AI's attention having enormous technical documentation and be AI efficient in order to become mainstream.

I believe no other shiniest thing will ever make cognitive nest in humans. We are overloaded.

I liked the idea that htmx is good for those middle of the road cases where you're not doing anything fancy but I didn't end up using it very often though because if I'm not doing something fancy then I'm not going to ask my user to leave their terminal anyhow.

I'm a big fan of returning html instead of json when possible and I've been htmx curious for a bit.

With all the examples people keep using, I assumed it would be way smaller. 16kb minified is a lot.

Looking at the docs just now the core api seems reasonable, but it a lot larger than I'd assumed.

The Demo 3 Live Search example has really nasty scroll jank issues. I’m guessing it’s caused by the results being inserted inline in the document (and thus redoing the layout of much of the page) instead of being placed in some sort of overlay.

I did. I found it to have quite a few problems with bugs, docs, and web page lifecycle.

I switched to Hotwire/Stimulus and found it to be a significantly better implementation of the same core concepts. I'd highly recommend checking them out.
