HTMX
The web needs to be simplified. All these JavaScript frameworks, build tools, and more make it difficult to create a simple website. HTMX is a new approach to web development.
HTMX is a ~14k JavaScript library that allows you to add AJAX to HTML pages without writing JavaScript code. HTML attributes are used to define the behavior of the page. For example, a link’s hx-get attribute changes its behavior: when clicked, it loads content from the server and replaces the current page. And the hx-swap attribute configures how this replacement will happen.
Example:
<div hx-get="/hello" hx-swap="outerHTML">
<p>Hello, World!</p>
</div>
A free Hypermedia Systems book on building hypermedia-based applications using HTMX and others has recently been released.
Example of using HTMX with WebSockets with a Go server:

The interactivity of search in this blog is implemented on HTMX.
