    hard to tell if it's just what I'm used to, but that's my feeling
  • m
    I remember looking at Angular and extjs before that and saying "lol, no"
  • m
    react I didn't even bother
  • l
    I think it's not just us but people stop realizing it.
  • l
    we just dig deeper
  • l
    and stop asking right questions. why are we even doing it
  • l
    until one day we write all JS just to output plain html text 😄
  • l
    today I shared this with bluethumb team: did you see https://inertiajs.com/ - modern monolith? 1. Rails monolith 2. JS / api … SPAs 3. Microservices 4. JS monolith 5. back to rails monolith?

    nice thing about using HTML/hypermedia is whatever backend you want is fine
  • m
    browsers don't care
  • m
    just produce HTML
  • l
    yup
  • l
    also
  • l
    there is one piece that completes it now
  • l
    tailwind
  • m
    no boatload of JS on the front end, no wondering why you have two programming languages
  • l
    tw + htmx + hs - on the front end
  • m
    (a hidden advantage of hyperscript is that you can't use it on the backend)
  • m
    i still need to take the tailwind pill
  • l
    thats dream come true. you can do style as well as all behaviour right in html!
  • l
    just do it and after few weeks you will not believe how much energy we wasted trying to name things, subclassing, inheriting... with css, but also with js (unobtrusive js etc.).
  • l
    when you can do it all in html there are no obstacles anymore. it's much easier to get into the zone and just build stuff
  • m
    i will contemplate
  • l
    end of rant 😄
  • l
    it's getting late here
  • l
    thanks for help keep up great work and chat soon

    Is there a simple way to trigger ncheckvalidity using htmx only when performing inline form validation? So, hx-post on change or blur
  • h
    I saw the issue on GitHub where you suggested something like on click[valid] but not sure if that was ever implemented?
  • m
    can you give some example html?
