Is intercooler.js good?

• How do you do, fellow web developers? A growing disconnect

  Regardless of what CSS query you use to look the element up, in the jquery example you'd still have your logic (the url, etc) defined elsewhere the htmx version is symmetric with the href attribute in that it completely specifies what is going to happen directly on the element itself of course you could do something in jquery like using a data attribute to store the url and HTTP method, etc, but at that point... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Htmx and the Rule of Least Power

  An early version of Htmx was in fact based on jQuery (https://intercoolerjs.org). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Rage: Fast web framework compatible with Rails

  I used HTMX since the intercooler days [0] but the stuff you can make is rather limited. Also you still need the JS to deal with a11y things like expanded state (or hyperscript, apparently). If you have a lot of components to implement, everything requires thinking. I really love it for simple applications though. Resist implementing a complicated menu, live notifications, an editable data-table and such... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Htmx is part of the GitHub Accelerator

  To an extent, there was `jQuery.get` but it wasn't tightly integrated with HTML the original version of htmx was intercooler.js: https://intercoolerjs.org released in 2013, and that version depended on jQuery. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Htmx is part of the GitHub Accelerator

  :) hyperscript came after htmx htmx is version 2 of intercoolerjs: https://intercoolerjs.org which had a proto-scripting language in it, the `ic-action` attribute: https://intercoolerjs.org/attributes/ic-action I dropped that attribute (along w/ the jQuery dependency) when I created htmx, but I felt there was some merit to the idea of a lightweight scripting language that abstracted away async behavior. Once htmx... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?

  You asked for it: https://htmx.org https://hyperscript.org I hated angular when it first came out and couldn't believe what insanity people were willing to come up with, so long as it came from google. (e.g. GWT) I created https://intercoolerjs.org out of frustration with that, and the lack of progress in HTML/hypermedia in general, so I could build a web application I was working on (https://leaddyno.com, since... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?

  I created intercooler.js in 2013 so I could do AJAX in HTML: https://intercoolerjs.org Last year I removed the jquery dependency and cleaned it up based on a lot of lessons that I learned, renaming it to hmtx: https://htmx.org Same idea: extends/complete HTML as a hypertext so you can build more advanced UI within the original hypermedia web model, and cleaner implementation. Part of that cleanup involved me... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Ask HN: I feel my career is at a dead end. Any advice on what could I do?

  This is my experience, and your mileage may vary: Multiple times in my coding career I have felt stalled and/or like I was regressing. Early on, I worked on a programming language, gosu (https://gosu-lang.github.io/) which ended up not really going anywhere. Once the work on it was done, I returned to more mundane web programming for a while. A long while after that, and unexpectedly, I turned a jQuery function... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago
