Thanks for the reply (always enjoy your sqlite content). It's definitely going to be interesting to see how all these AI labs playout when they are how the core business is built.
Wouldn't the incumbents with their fantastic distribution channels, brand, lockin, marketing, capital and own models just wipe the floor with everyone as talent no longer matters?
The limitations of HTMX are not the same as the limitations of Datastar. Datastar is a whole other beast with only a few at most vestigial similarities to HTMX.
You can't do virtual scroll over a billion checkboxes in HTMX (I've yet to see anyone manage in react for that matter either), yet you can do it easily in Datastar. [1]
Thanks Carson. Although honestly it's pretty mid compared to what's actually possible in hypermedia.
The only reason I wheel it out is when people say you can't do X (often meaning react like things) with hypermedia.
Honestly, you could probably do it in HTMX if you are prepared to only use out of bounds swaps, morph and SSE. But, that approach has always felt second class, unfinished and against the grain. So stuff like that isn't done.
Always made me sad that you wrote idiomorph (thanks for sharing it with the world) but didn't make it part of HTMX. I guess HTMX 4 will change that?
