   @polotek I'm using htmx on https://piefed.social (for the voting buttons) and https://chorebuster.net (for moving chores around on a schedule).

   It's been great, no hidden gotchas, footguns or systemic issues.

     No offense to Bret. It's not his fault. I just think the question about htmx has been asked and answered. Yes I have heard of it. No I don't use it. Lots of people have heard of it. But they're not using it. That says a lot right out the gate. So let's try moving to the next conversation.

     I swear this happens to me every single time I mention anything to do with frontend. I don't know how htmx has cornered the market on getting mentioned in every conversation without many people actually using it.

     Last night I ended up pairing with a friend on a Next.js app. I don't like react or next. I've been largely avoiding them. But we were able to figure out their problem and get something working.

     I've been using Nest.js (not a type, a different thing) and Angular. It's not "better". It still sucks the way a lot of this overly complex modern stuff sucks.

     But I was reminded that the best framework to use is the one you already know. It doesn't matter all that much in the long run.
