"I was late to the hypermedia party" → very late indeed :)

The term was coined in 1965 by Ted Nelson in: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/800197.806036

Here's the exact sentence: "The hyperfilm-- a browsable or vari-sequenced movie-- is only one of the possible hypermedia that require our attention."

Both Datastar and HTMX try to lay claim to being "the one true hypermedia" just because they both are vaguely HTML-like. And they gladly misappropriate Ted Nelson, too: https://dmitriid.com/hypermedia-is-a-property-of-the-client

in reality, neither of them make any such claims. And they are not html-like - they're literally html. Especially datastar, which doesnt add any non-html-spec attributes.
