hey HN, i have been working on an extremely minimal implementation of htmx called fixi.js<p>the idea with this project is to boil the concept of generalized hypermedia controls down to the absolute essence, keeping the library as small as possible while still being useful<p>it doesn't have a lot of the niceties of htmx and almost certainly will require some javascript work for real-world usages (it's designed to be extended via events) but might appeal to people comfortable with JS and who like ultra-minimalism<p>the minimalism also extends to the project itself, which consists of three files: fixi.js, README.md and test.html. There are no dependencies (i wrote my own hack of a visual testing harness), no build step, no minification and fixi isn't distributed via NPM. The fixi.js file itself is 3268 bytes, unminified and uncompressed, and 1176 bytes when brotli compressed.<p>i don't expect this to be nearly as widely adopted as htmx due to the minimal ergonomics, but thought people here might find it interesting
