About regular links and hx-boost. This hx-boost exists only to compete with SPA. Building good websites requires dropping the sugar high of hx-boost and saying “here’s how to use a cache header.”
Use cache headers: cache-control if possible and etag for dynamic resources. "If I don’t even want to include a version number—maybe for a file like stylesheet.css—I can use a URL query."
Leverage HTML as much as possible: it only gets better.
When to use HTMX then? "Until HTML has an API to keep live content persistent across page navigations, some SPA functionality is required to make that happen."
SPAs are an advanced tool that the industry deceptively marketed as a simple one. Aram is a highly experienced web developer who’s using hx-boost to push the boundaries of what’s possible with page navigations; Most people, who just want to add a little interactivity to their webpage, should stick with the simplest tool available: a regular link.

The fixi api consists of six HTML attributes, nine events & two properties
These are eye-popping numbers, and they reflect the fact that the Contexte application is extremely amenable to hypermedia: it is a content-focused application that shows lots of text and images. We would not expect every web application to see these sorts of numbers.
However, we would expect many applications to see dramatic improvements by adopting the hypermedia/htmx approach, at least for part of their system.
After the port to htmx, the entire team became “full stack” developers
About the 3 frameworks in 2023. Their paradigms shift and try different approaches to build UI.
During the development of Bear, one of the constraints I created for myself was to do as much as possible using basic HTML components. This means that the only elements that are able to perform a request are and
A simple snippet works to retrieve and replace content on a page. Few thoughts:
- It has to work with other interactions than the click event to be reliable
- It has to work with screen readers, so the focus should be placed on the inserted content. Maybe an announcement is needed.
Ok not bad at all. I still think Rust is not meant for prototyping, but let's give it a try.
This project looks interesting.
- No VDOM
- Rust syntax
- CSS scoping
- Routing & SSR & SSG
- Tauri support
- Htmx integration
htmx does not have a build step and delivers the source file as a single 3500 LOC file. Alexander Petrois justifies this choice, as it is a tradeoff.
