I was helping with an application that used htmx and had two issues. I’m wondering if anybody had similar experience and if these issues are from misusing technology or maybe there’s some ongoing work to address them.

1. A lot of custom middleware in controllers to decide if endpoint should return HTML for whole page or only fragment that htmx needs. On the side of htmx that sounds simple but it is something that probably every project using htmx have to reinvent.

2. Bookkeeping around `hx-trigger`. If UI is getting complicated, many elements need to react to external changes. Instead of reading some state and hope that framework will schedule updates, I have to manage a list of events to react by hand.

Anybody had similar impression?
