Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

While appreciating HTMX's potential to reduce JavaScript reliance, this dev found its lack of structure problematic, leading him to create MESH, a modular SSR framework based on the "one component = one endpoint" principle. He concludes that he's not using HTMX in the way it's intended and drops it in favor of simpler JavaScript and SSE.
