I'm not super familiar with HTMX but lots of people in the Elixir/Phoenix/Liveview world are using Alpine JS for these types of problems.

Liveview(HTMX analog) for anything with data and state that needs to go to and from the server; Alpine JS for client side interactions with ephemeral state like opening a modal.

HTMX + Alpine JS seems to be prevalent.

It's hilarious to me that HTMX is JS code and Alpine.js is HTML.

its js too? https://alpinejs.dev/essentials/installation#as-a-module

I was going by Github language stats indicating 90% HTML / 10% JS https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine
