A MODEST CRITIQUE OF HTMX

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

htmx is an open-source front-end JavaScript library that extends HTML with custom attributes that enable the use of AJAX directly in HTML. While the core concept of htmx is appealing, its implementation is more complicated because of issues with inheritance, state management, and integration with other libraries like React. For example, htmx's reliance on replacing DOM elements wholesale causes problems with maintaining browser-local state and conflicts with libraries like React that manage their own state.
