Does HTMX have a pro version? Is it dead?

[intrasight]

Far from dead. Usage is growing.

HTMX is a single htmx.js file with like 4000 lines of pretty clearly written code.

It purports to - and I think succeeds - in adding a couple of missing hypermedia features to HTML.

It's not a "framework" - good

It's not serverside - good

Need to add a feature? Just edit htmx.js

Some people will get a fit once they find out it's JS, and not TypeScript.

It will be, eventually, unless a maintainer is able to maintain during the day. It doesn't matter what the source of free time is however: retired, rich, runs a company from their open source project, paid by somebody else, etc., but full time job + open source maintainer = dead project, eventually.

htmx isn't dead, but, from a semantic stand point, it's pretty done:

https://htmx.org/essays/future/

there are bugs, but we have to trade off fixes against potentially breaking users sites that depend on (sometimes implicitly) the current behavior

this makes me very hesitant to make changes and accept PRs, but i also feel bad closing old issues without really diving deep into them

such is life in open source

[sudodevnull]

Yes look at the active issues on GitHub. There's hundreds and some going back years with no traction.

I don't think open issues is a fair way to judge project liveness. TypeScript also has hundreds of open issues going back years with no traction. Is TypeScript dead?
