Reviewer scorecard
“Elegant simplicity. For CRUD apps and content sites, htmx eliminates the need for a JavaScript framework entirely.”
“Web standards-first approach means your apps work without JavaScript. Loaders and actions are elegant patterns.”
“Not for every use case, but for the apps it fits, it dramatically reduces complexity. The meme game is also S-tier.”
“The merge with React Router v7 is pragmatic. Web fundamentals and progressive enhancement are the right foundation.”
“The pendulum swinging back toward server-rendered HTML is real. htmx is leading the hypermedia renaissance.”
“Merged into React Router. The ideas live on but the standalone framework identity is fading.”
