@prologic@twtxt.net Watched that one the other day after seeing that much chatter about #HTMX on the feed. And now I’m watching HTMX Sucks - Youtube by the same person (or should I say people?) 😂

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com haha! Click bait and all (I didn’t tap it, but you know what I mean)! So, does it truly sucks?

Haha yeah that video on htmx sucks is pretty funny really! 🤣 And no it obviously doesn’t suck 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Actually the video is a reaction to: HTMX Sucks that is originally an essay by Carson Gross (the creator) in the “The worse-is-better design philosophy” and what not style. So No, it isn’t … or at least not in the sense one would get from such a title. 😄

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah it’s more along the lines of “everything sucks” at least a bit 🤣

But what would you prefer if you were rethinking the architectural design of your next web app? A bazillion lines of Javascript™ with all kinds of indirections and acrobatics that are impossible to understand? 🤔

– Or just write your web application as a normal set of pages in the Hypermedia Driven Application (HDA) style/architecture, than sprinkle a few hx-* attributes and get the same user experience? 😅 #htmx
