(detailed use case) => detailed reasoning
blinkbat · 2 months ago
just want something comparable to next (api layer, ssr ability, nice surface api), for a relatively simple case (oauth with ms, simple api to query other apis).

I'm avoiding Next because deploying it on anything non-vercel sucks.

It's really good for streaming view updates to your users in realtime.
blinkbat · 2 months ago
you mean via SSE? is any part of that an inherent "htmx only" thing, or even a "markup API only" thing?

a framework using a neat piece of technology isn't really a boon for the framework -- the technology of streaming itself is great, sure, but you can do that with any stack.

I still have no idea what benefits having your API serve markup is supposed to confer, but people tell me it's "great".

also, I find your headline misleading. htmx uses javascript, there's no accessing anything "directly from html". you could say that about any framework with directives, ie vue, but we all know better.

i bet it would be a dishonourable discharge, no service pension for that.

I mean, the main goal would be not to have one's limbs blown off at war, I don't really care if they pay me. I'm confused... drafting has nothing to do with voluntarily enlisting.

No. Liquid glass wont even make it past 1 macOS/iOS release. In fact Apple has already scaled back many of the glass UI parts they've shown in the earlier demos and betas.

It's an ill-though change for change's sake. Nobody is that impressed.

Flat design was more fully thought. But even that was useless and ultimately user hostile.

"Skeuomorphic" (which is mistankenly called that, few parts of OS X or Windows at the time were actually skeuomorphic in nature) was just better UI.

to me liquid glass has a hint of skeuomorphism, but with the added transparency clusterfuck that just makes it unreadable.

I don't know, I really like it so far.

cool, nice to know that being a wimpy programmer could suffice for draft-dodging in this current political shitshow.

no

edit: and I hope not.

interesting, kind of like an artist's enclave of eunuchs who may or may not be narcissist pseudo-geniuses or complete fraudsters.
