This is an excellent demo of what htmx can do to a web skeptic like myself. Everything just works as you’d expect!
Looking at the source I’m not sure I like the conceit of creating routes and programming in comments like that. But this feels closer to a simple RAD web framework than most stuff I’ve seen. Keep hacking away and you might have something great on your hands.
Definitely didn't work as I expected, but mostly just because I'm on mobile. I had to do a lot of extra clicks to do what I'd expect. HOWEVER, aside from UX it's functionally sufficient and that's more of the point, I think.
But just as a suggestion to OP: in mobile, clicking a feed should take you to that feed. Currently you click a feed, there isn't any confirmation of that selection being applied, and you have to close the menu to see the feed again.
oh yeah, same. definitely felt broken to me. had to read this comment then do landscape mode and i can see the problem is the menu takes up the whole screen on mobile.
"web skeptic". I'm pretty skeptical of embedded code in markup. Throughout the years my experience has been that the less code you have embedded in your HTML, the better. Optimally just stick with standards based HTML templates and you will always be forward compatible.
A nit, routes are defined by template name, not by comment strings. Though I get your point that overloading things can be a bit smelly. I comport that the smell is just like a nicely ripening cheese.
I had to look up the acronym, but a RAD web framework is exactly what I'm aiming to deliver. Thanks for the kind words. :)
