<i>Fortunately, the vast majority of applications are just text and images and do not suffer from these limitations. For that vast majority, htmx is likely a good solution</i><p>There is a lot to unpack here so let’s go step by step. To display text and images using pure vanilla html in an app is doable, no doubt, but let’s be honest, a little simplistic when we want the real thing - <i>Simplicity</i><p>But we are in luck! Not only are text and images the vast majority of content on the internet, they also come without the limitations of the other things on the internet.<p>And this is where htmx, which hits that <i>simplicity sweet spot</i> we are aiming for comes into play.<p>No matter what language you want to tack on, it has your back and is likely the premier <i>as good as it gets</i> solution for this vast majority.<p>And guess what, people will be able to search for the text and images on your site so you just have to pop up a little “what did you find on my site?” Form field along the way to start a positive feedback loop, build a community and ultimately head for IPO of course.
