Reviewer scorecard
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“Elegant simplicity. For CRUD apps and content sites, htmx eliminates the need for a JavaScript framework entirely.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“Not for every use case, but for the apps it fits, it dramatically reduces complexity. The meme game is also S-tier.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“The pendulum swinging back toward server-rendered HTML is real. htmx is leading the hypermedia renaissance.”
