Activity of bigskysoftware/htmx repository

htmx is a GitHub repository managed by bigskysoftware. It is basically a tool that allows you to access AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext.

htmx takes a different approach to modern web development; instead of sending JSON messages back and forth between the client and the server as is the norm these days, htmx allows the server to send actual HTML snippets to the client and directly swap them into the DOM. This way, the server retains control and web pages stay simple and easy to develop. This approach makes it easier to design websites that have modern, dynamic elements but also remain accessible and SEO friendly.

Some of the features of htmx include:

• Extremely small size - around 10k min.gz'd
• Supports a wide range of browsers, including IE11+
• No frameworks dependencies
• Progressive enhancement and graceful degradation in its design
• Can easily integrate with CSS frameworks
• Extensible event system

The repository is well-documented with a clear README and has an active community of contributors. It also links to external resources that offer more comprehensive information about using htmx, such as the official website and several example applications.
