• Htmx and the Rule of Least Power

  An early version of Htmx was in fact based on jQuery (https://intercoolerjs.org). - Source: Hacker News / 20 days 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 / 5 months 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 / 9 months 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.

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

(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 / over 1 year 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 / almost 3 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 / about 3 years ago
