Oh wow! This is a huge honour, thank you so much! I definitely started writing a "lol HTMX is shit" post, but it just wasn't honest. HTMX is incredibly powerful - I am a fan of what you all have done with it. This attempt on my part to try and write something server-side rendered wouldn't have happened without the kick up the butt HTMX gives me (and all of us).
No problem at all. There are aspects of htmx that are good and bad depending on context and experience, and I like having different perspectives on it available for people to read, so thank you for taking the time to put together an in depth essay on it.
