I've been writing a ton of ts/js at work, so using htmx for a quick weekend project was a nice change of pace.
I really appreciated the library of examples; they cover a lot of common use cases. Between that and the docs I had no trouble figuring out how things worked.
I still have no idea what benefits having your API serve markup is supposed to confer, but people tell me it's "great".
also, I find your headline misleading. htmx uses javascript, there's no accessing anything "directly from html". you could say that about any framework with directives, ie vue, but we all know better.
