Congrats on launch. Impressive demo. Keep shipping!

Thank you so much!

Well done team Lithuania! Remember hearing Pixelmator founders giving a speech ~12 years ago. They were very vocal and repeated this many times: "Our marketing strategy is to just focus on the product". Not sure I agree with that statement, but they sure seem to followed it thoroughly. Congrats on the acquisition!

> "Our marketing strategy is to just focus on the product".

I wish more companies had this perspective, in contrast to the "Barely MVP and mostly marketing spend" to get the most signups / MAU in hopes of an acquisition.

People tend to forget that product is one of the Ps

Marketing is not the same as promotion

Nice change of pace from the current zeitgeist of, "you should really be Extremely Online to have a chance!" that is oft-repeated by...Extremely Online people.

I use it for ages, and did not get to know it through promotion or advertisement or campaign but reputation. And I stayed, updated not because some chatter buzz or famousness or other face matter but because it was good for me. Their strategy worked then and there.

Time and patience pays when you have a great product.

Am very curious about the same very question.

"I guess you could still have multiple Hono-based packages that handle segments of your backend" -> I am thinking the same - if you hit bundle size problems, you can just split your app.

I'd also love to see some benchmarks how bigger bundle size impacts the performance - i.e. 1 MB adds additional 1ms on average, or so... My platform of interest is mostly Cloudflare Workers.

Indeed it's hard to grasp what mission the framework is up to.

I'll just say though that am very happy to see htmx getting more traction. I'm a technical marketer and I was really saddened to see trend of bussiness logic being expresses in TS and spitted out into small bundles for marketers to have no clue on what's going on.

Now I just say this magic combo to frontend team: htmx+alpine+xstate-fsm. And suddenly I have gained the control back! JS-in-markup is a dream comming true for those who actually keep working on optimizing the websites after developers create them.

I would like to see HTMX cut down to a tiny size. It's already larger than several network packets for many network configurations (15.05 kB gzip / 42.58 kB size). Now we need an htmx-lite that focuses on not growing into it's own JS framework (that's kind of the whole point after all)

Love the fact that Release notes (https://www.sqlalchemy.org/blog/2023/01/26/sqlalchemy-2.0.0-...) give decent credits to SQLModel (https://sqlmodel.tiangolo.com/) for some of the typing innovations.

I use both mypy and pyright. Pre-commit hook/vscode runs checks for mypy, pyright, as well as pylint, flake8, black, bandit.

Why both? I just have more confidence in getting feedback from both of the tools.

I guess it's important to note that in many cases you'll be willing to pair htmx with either alpine.js (using https://htmx.org/extensions/alpine-morph/), or with hyperscript (https://hyperscript.org/, developed by same team as htmx).

Things that don't require request to server - managed by alpine, things that do require - by htmx. There are situations where both tools can be used, one has to pick.

I’ve been looking for alpine and forgot what it was called, have come across it some time ago. I knew I would find it in the comments on this post as it’s kind of like htmx. I didn’t even know the same people made both!

:) I didn't make alpine, that caleb porzio (a genius)

I did make https://hyperscript.org, which is kinda in the same space but very different than pretty much everything else

Happy longtime Influxdb user here. I wanted to congratulate Paul and the team on reaching this milestone. Followed IOx development a bit - can't wait to finally test it out!

No, they are not gone at all.
