Why? How would it be different from using htmx?

It's just a weird feeling for someone to use a hack / experiment as a foundation or something. I know 'the software is provided "as is ", without warranty'.

The difference with htmx is that they are more polished.

I would caution against using HTMX in production, either, from personal experience.

I've been looking for someone to write a negative htmx experience analysis to host on the essays page:

https://htmx.org/essays

i don't want people to pick htmx if it's going to be a bad choice for their particular application, would be happy to work w/ you to get something put together

For one thing, it seems like it wouldn't gracefully degrade in functionality if JavaScript was disabled or unavailable. With htmx you can use its HX-Request header to check whether a request is from htmx or not, and serve a partial HTML or a full page accordingly. So no matter the circumstances, you can maintain a good user experience.
