Daniel - East TN#0482, A Tour of myPrayerJournal v3
A blog series on rewriting a web app in htmx.
[…] eliminates a host of synchronization issues with SPAs and their associated APIs - duplicating shapes of data, ensuring calculations are in sync, etc.
Discord · Fubarrr ↪ Re. Daniel - East TN Part 3 (post 3) is up… “… demonstrates that htmx is a true batteries-included SPA framework” 👈 now there’s a phrase you don’t hear everyday 😁 👍 👍 1

SirRichard#6804, Interactive zero Javascript sites with django
How to rocket-start your frontend with HTMX
https://medium.com/ambient-innovation/interactive-zero-javascript-sites-with-django…
_hyperscript is looking for contributors to help with documentation
1cg […] The current docs start off with async-transparency, since that was the interesting technical challenge we had solved just prior to writing them. It’s very cool, but it’s not the main point of hyperscript. I’ll take another crack at it with a “what the thing does and why you should care” perspective. Or maybe I should let someone else write the docs?
Would you like to become that someone else? We have amazing benefits!
- a friendly community of smart programmers that don’t take themselves too
seriously - an exciting, experimental, fun-focused yet refreshingly utilitarian project
- creative freedom over your work
- 14% raise every year (this is a volunteer job)
- a maintainer that will edit your work when you’re asleep (that’s me) (i’ll only do minor changes)
- I forgot what I was talking about
RichardG launched Comedy Wham with htmx, _hyperscript and Sprig
RichardG big thanks to @Deniz Akşimşek @1cg and I’m sure i’m forgetting someone, but finally launched a revised site over the break and couldn’t have done it w/o help on Sprig/htmx and hyperscript! comedywham.com/events (and the related submission form)

HTML as a database?!
mobilesped@yahoo.com To keep this html only thing going…What about a database that stores info as nested html and then returns that data without any processing needed to display it on the page. Like graph but strictly html structure. HTMQL???
lllama https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_database_model
lllama Reminded me of this from a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28736405
craigrodway Sounds like a filesystem of .html files! 😉
Deniz Akşimşek this has the wonderfully cursed advantage of being able to use CSS as a query language 😆 4
Deniz Akşimşek I don’t think HTML as a database is the best idea, but will defend HTML as an API
36864 We used to call this a “website”
lllama HTML as the engine of application state perhaps? 😄
byteface i’ve been toying with this idea using range requests. I wanted to make an infinite scroller using range requests to a gigantic static dom. you basically have to store a map of css or tag positions to bytes. currently trying to work one in to my proxy
Never change, HTMX Discord 💙
Johan (Commspace) is still using intercooler.js
Fubarrr @1cg is there a default intercooler history item cache limit… and/or a way to configure the max cache entries, like we have available in htmx (htmx.config.historyCacheSize Defaults to 10)?
1cg holy moly
1cg looks like it is permanently set to 20: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/intercooler-js/blob/1addb24d57cd24861fa5963a3ebf76c587651307/src/intercooler.js#L1939
1cg we could cut a new release (!!!) to make this configurable
They didn’t end up using a new release, since Commspace was using a custom build anyway. However, it’s a good reminder that Intercooler is still supported (to the extent that any non-profit open source project can be “supported”, at least).
bpamiri#9470 is looked into using htmx with ColdFusion
bpamiri I just came across htmx last week and am trying to consume as much info about it as I can. I come from a ColdFusion background, using CFML (the language on the backend) on CFWheels (a framework for CFML inspired by Rails). I’m very excited about finding out about this project. https://guides.cfwheels.org/docs/routing
💙 Welcome aboard!
