I really like htmx, and intercooler.js before it. It's been a while since I tried to convince a co-worker to use it, it might be time to try again. Either way I can't wait to try out the new version.

Full Disclosure, I am CEO of HTMX

View on HN

Given the number of people claiming to be CEO of HTMX, I have to ask: what’s the joke I’m missing?

There is something here, but I am not sure if it's the whole story: https://htmx.org/essays/lore/

yeah, basically recursivedoubts is pretty funny.

One of the things that is great about htmx (besides being the best library) is the lack of modern silicon valley corpo communication. It has the slightly unhinged feel of a nerd that spent too much time on Newgrounds or 4chan or something awful. Which is how the internet aught to be.

Please take a look at the official documentation for htmx, which specifically clarifies that the author owns many hinges.

I can’t believe he turned that offer from Microsoft down.

Absolute madman.

This is a social media presence worth striving for.

> You can put it on your LinkedIn, because it’s true.

I only take LinkedIn seriously under extreme protest, so this is extremely tempting.

Thanks for sharing that.

It's just about all Twitter links, where's XCancel/Nitter when you need 'em :(

Now Cloudflare won't let me see the thing that might let me see Twitter.

Awesome. Thank you!

i suspect it's just related to https://htmx.org/essays/htmx-sucks/

You seem to have it!

As a former CEO of HTMX I thank you for your service as the current CEO of HTMX.

HTMX 4 is 41KB minified, why not use just plain HTML and a single inline 166-byte (sic!) onload handler named HTMZ? https://leanrada.com/htmz/

i think you've found a good job!

Could local-first HTMX ever become part of the standard library? So it could be used easily with a simple static web host?

The board chose well, they are good boys.
