I've used htmx to write some relatively simple internal tools, and it's been really useful for that. I know a little javascript, but my web skills are really outdated - I acquired them back when you rendered HTML on the server and maybe added a little interactivity with jquery. With that background, using htmx to swap out elements (rendered server-side with Jinja templates in flask) has been a lot more productive for me than trying to overcome my unfamiliarity with modern JS. The modular structure of Jinja templates actually works really well the htmx paradigm IMO.

This is exactly what I use it for. It keeps me working mostly in python, flask, and jinja, which I know a lot better than js. For just doing some background requests and element swapping, it’s absolutely more efficient for me.
