HTMX Is Not a Framework
- HTMX is fundamentally different from traditional front-end frameworks like React or Vue because it is not a framework with a virtual DOM.
- It acts as a front-end tool that lets you manage your app's front end without imposing an application structure.
Start With Backend Structure
- When using HTMX, start with your backend application structure as usual since that's where you organize models and screens.
- Use HTMX to enhance interaction but don't feel you must use it for everything in your app.
HTMX Enhances Traditional Web
- HTMX extends traditional Web 1.0 page concepts by letting you swap parts of the DOM after the page loads.
- This means you build your page normally and add HTMX where you want interactivity, rather than rethinking the entire app structure.
