HTMX worth it? or bad?
I enjoy the idea of it, but is it any good?
Has anyone used it? What's the pro and con of using HTMX?
I'm a vanilla dev 😁

Theo has some videos in htmx as a technology and I think the latest one has a good explanation when it is usable. To sum it up short it really depends on what you are building, htmx increases the capabilities of vanilla html but won’t take you all the way, if you need to write a bunch of client side logic like you will not like working with HTMX most likely. However if you mostly need to serve raw html with heavy backend work you might like it more.
In the end it is hard so say if it is worth it because I don’t know what you want to build.
