> but if we start writing our JavaScript libraries to enrich HTML's semantics, rather than replace them, we might get a lot more mileage out of both.
oof, yes please!

@npub1wfj…2ewz absolutely! My reasoning is I use forms less than I use auth, yet one is marketed as optional because it’s in contrib.

@npub1wfj…2ewz I think so, yes. I’ve worked on so few sites without auth that having it be opt-in always feels like an anachronism.

@npub1wfj…2ewz I’m sure I’m not the first to mention this but… auth in contrib is kind of weird these days.

Finally tried out Alpine.js yesterday. It fits in the same headspace as HTMX for me. What a delight!

The return jet lag is very real after PyCon this year. Second afternoon I’ve dozed off.

@npub1wfj…2ewz I knew you’d say that! Soon… maybe. I have a feeling it might be contentious 😬

@npub1wfj…2ewz someone added inline partial definitions, didn't they! (😂)
I'm stuck on 2.2 in the short term for this project, so it doesn't look like the template loading special sauce is available to me yet.

2024-04-24 10:09:51

I'm playing with django-render-block and HTMX to update a modal with form errors and avoid a page reload. This is such a simple yet powerful workflow.
The only thing that would improve it at this point is being able to use TemplateResponse but still be able to target the block I'm interested in.

@npub19lt…qfjk my office radiator. I've got the plug and a temperature sensor plumbed into Home Assistant where there's a thermostat that turns the plug on/off as necessary.

@npub19lt…qfjk I've got one of these: https://www.thetreadmilldeskstore.co.uk/products/tr1200-dt3
I've been using it for ~2-4h daily for ~18mo. It's been rock solid so far. The controls could be slightly more responsive but otherwise it's been great!
