Professor Carson if you're in the comments I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything you've contributed. I didn't understand why we were learning HTMX in college and why you were so pumped about it, but many years later I now get it. HTML over the wire is everything.

I've seen your work in Hotwire in my role as a Staff Ruby on Rails Engineer. It's the coolest thing to see you pop up in Hacker News every now and then and also see you talking with the Hotwire devs in GitHub.

Thanks for being a light in the programming community. You're greatly respected and appreciated.

Wasn’t HTMX just a meme? I can’t really tell if it’s serious because of Poe’s Law.

Solopreneur making use of it in my bootstrapped B2B SaaS business. Clients don't need or want anything flashy. There are islands of interactivity, and some HTMX sprinkled there has been a great fit.

Using HTMX in my B2B SaaS allowed me to enjoy coding for the web again. I had lost that joy somewhere along the way.

And our customers seem very content with the way our product works.

(For the record: yes, it’s a stable, profitable, long-established product.)
