alt Hacker NewsAs in, htmx is better? I haven't used it but last I looked into it I was extremely confused as to whether it was a meme, an actual framework, or both.

None of the above. It is a utility (I guess framework maybe) for a feature that was cool in ASP.NET back in 2005. But that is it's charm. It is just JS swapping out the dom for you.

HTMX is great when your web interface is just a representation of a server state.
If web interface is an application backed by a remote state HTMX falls apart.
