   OMG I hate video tutorials 😖

   Thanks for the good intentions, but please just write your tutorials and walkthroughs in plain text, it’s sooo much easier to follow.

     @bech I’ll do both. And make it free. And there’s nothing you can do to stop me.

     @bech PS. On a more serious note, what do you think of the approach here?

     https://ar.al/2024/03/08/streaming-html/

     (The process in the video is entirely covered in the article but the video exists to add a human element and help those who like to follow along and/or are getting started – so the latter can see general aspects of the workflow that more advanced developers may take for granted and which are out of scope/would unnecessarily bloat the article).

     @bech Ah, just wrote you a lengthy question while you were apparently writing the response :)

     @aral I’ll bet although I prefer tutorials in plain text, others will probably prefer video, so that’s awesome! Thanks 🙌

     @aral This is way, way better than the average YT tutorial 👏

     The worst is searching for help on something, then finding a resource that looks useful, just to find out it is video only.

     I like your approach 👍

     @aral @bech As for streaming HTML, check out my project PHOOOS without using client-side JS at all, pure HTML and CSS (and optionally HTMZ): https://github.com/niutech/phooos

     @niutech Nice. Can you keep streaming HTML once the page has loaded. For my use cases, at least, the first page load being a single load is not so much a bug as a feature but being able to interactively stream updates via Streaming HTML in Kitten is priceless :)

     @aral @bech Yes, you can continue streaming HTML using SSE or add streaming on click using HTMZ.
