    but htmx 1.x will be supported indefinitely
  • m
    just as intercooler.js is
  • m
    this is the benefit of having a FAANGBSS backing your software project: when a company the size of big sky software puts out an open source project, they can afford to support it indefinitely

    heh. honestly there's a lot of merit in that vs frameworks that force a rewrite every release cycle or go dormant after a few years, then good luck maintaining it yourself with the brittle npm ecosystem. On the other hand we've got solid foundations here.
  • t
    Enjoy this brief period of relatively low adoption rates. Supporting everything forever becomes much harder when you have a thousand people pestering you every day
  • r
    Eh, htmx has zero dependencies and is tiny enough it could easily be internally maintained if something happens to 1cg. It's the priceless benefit to not over-engineering everything.

    that said, I hope carson and the doges are around for a good long time. heh.

    you've fallen into the sneaky rhetorical trap of assuming what elon said not only means something, but is also accurate to what's actually happening in the company

    One of the working theories of a host (Adam Curry) on a podcast I regularly consume (No Agenda) is that all the complaining about shadowbanning, follower counts, etc. all stem from the simple cause that Twitter's infrastructure can't handle the volume of data that's been thrown at it. 1k API calls to hit the homepage would lead me to believe that he's more correct there than even he intended!

    presented fwiw without judgement

    never let an information-free tweet go to waste (when it presents an opportunity to be a complete and utter bore about hypermedia, so you can alienate everyone)

    Does "hx-boost" links scroll to "hx-target"? I have created a homepage (hx-boost="true" on body), but when I click on that link the page scrolls to #main_content, in the same way as normal "{url}#section-3" links work, is this normal behaviour? How to stop it? Thanks
  • s
    I did some digging and found that boosted link scroll to the top, but they scroll to the top of hx-target="#main_content"
  • h
    You can specify the element to scroll to with hx-swap, e.g. 
    hx-boost="true" hx-swap="innerHTML show:#another-div:top"
    .

    Thanks croxton, i had a navbar with "position-fixed" css attribute. And the main_content was rendered behind the navbar with "margin-top:75px;" to make it look seamless. But it was giving some issues with the htmx scroll. (the main_content would scroll all the way to the top, behind the navbar, not respecting the 75px margin). I removed the fixed navbar, and 75px margin-top, and now everything renders good. Thanks

    @salmon-oil-67352 You could keep the fixed navbar if you did something like this:
    Copy code
    :root {
   —navbarHeight: 75px;
}

#main_content {
  padding-top: calc( var(--navbarHeight) - 1px);
}

#main_content > div {
  margin-top: calc( 0px - var(--navbarHeight) - 1px);
}

    I like the way he structures that and although he doesn't make this argument, it's a good framework to say Monolith + Apps are prime hypermedia candidates
  • m
    modular monolith
  • t
    “Modular Monolith”
  • t
    Can you talk more about what that looks like?
  • t
    With maybe an example
  • j
    Voltron.

    \> If you are reading this at a 5-50 person company...just stick with a monolith. Trust me
