Htmx Is the Future
It's kinda funny to me that many of the "pros" of this approach are the exact reasons so many abandoned MPAs in the first place.<p>For instance, a major selling point of Node was running JS on both the client and server so you can write the code once. It's a pretty shitty client experience if you have to do a network request for each and every validation of user input.<p>Also, there was a push to move the shitty code from the server to the client to free up server resources and prevent your servers from ruining the experience for everyone.<p>We moved away for MPAs because they were bloated, slow and difficult to work with. SPAs have definitely become what they sought to replace.<p>But that isn't because of the technology, it's because all the devs writing shitty MPAs are now writing shitty SPAs. If this becomes popular, they will start writing shitty MPAs again. Nothing about this technology will stop that.
