I feel like you can push your own thing in your own discord…

Something about riding the hype train for a fully open and free library you did not create to push your product just feels strange to me.

there is (or at least was) literally a dedicated Datastar channel in the htmx discord...

Which has since been archived. Last post from “Datastar CEO”. I mean cmon, it’s a little cringe. That meme is funny when it’s about HTMX. Like at least try your own memes instead of riding on Carson’s sense of humor too.

I dont disagree. I wouldn't dare try to follow in Carson's shitposting/memeing footsteps - that's a line far too fine for me to walk.

well Datastar started as an attempt to make HTMX an framework instead of just a library. It was part of the HTMX discord for years
