Poking around htmx, remembering the early days of web development.
How long has it been since any of us:
- tried to write a single html page using no frameworks or libraries?
- tried to make our own minimalist front controller with basic routing & separation of logic & template?
- we could accomplish a LOT of work with very little confusion, frustration, or debugging?
I might have to do this soon. Just for fun.
