Nice work. Funny how even simple/clean UI designs can require so much CSS.

How'd you like working with HTMX? First time?

There's gotta be lots of duplicated styles. I've mostly been starting fresh with each page and copying similar bits around.

I've been a fan of htmx for a few years. I was already subscribed to the approach having previously cobbled stuff together which resembled hx-boost and hx-swap-oob. htmx feels natural to me, I feel I get to focus on what I want to accomplish vs thinking about how to use htmx.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, HTMX reminds me of the early days of AJAX and seems like a breath of fresh air, especially if you're more interested in providing enhancements via some dynamic functionality versus building a full-on SPA.

It also actually looks fun to use, which has been missing from webdev for a while IMO.

Anyway, thanks again. Really appreciate your approach in keeping things simple.
