Support for in/inter page linking / scrolling in EmberJS
Navigating to URLs with #hash-targets in them is not supported by most single-page-app frameworks due to the async rendering nature of modern web apps -- the browser can't scroll to a #hash-target on page load / transition because the element hasn't rendered yet. There is an issue about this for Ember here on the RFCs repo.
- 🎉 The JS representation of Template Tag has moved to Final Comment Period! This RFC coincidentally exposes a much nicer runtime compiler API! (so I'm interested in this for my REPL, tutorial, and docs sites)
- Official support for pnpm has moved to Final Comment Period -- soon you won't have to add `--skip-npm` and other dances when wanting to use `pnpm` with Ember.

The road from Ember classic to Glimmer components
Ember.js development doesn’t stagnate. Progress is already being made for new improvements to the current component model. The RFC for first-class component templates has been accepted and merged in 2022 and will provide new benefits to Ember users. By first adopting Glimmer components, we’re prepared for what’s coming next.

"Why would I use Ember over Vue?" or "Are my impressions of the framework landscape based at all in current fact?"
yeah, I think that's being designed (for runtime).We have build-time efforts / validation already via official typescript support https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/748 with Glint: https://typed-ember.gitbook.io/glint/

[AskJS] What's your opinion about React 18 and do you feel the framework is at the forefront of innovation compared to Vue, Angular, Ember, Meteor, Mithril, Polymer and the others... is it going the right way for you or you would have changed a few things ?
During the 4.x series, we aim to finish the work to officially support TypeScript.

TypeScript Features to Avoid
The latest versions of Ember.js (Octane) have built-in decorator support and they're discussed in the RFC:

[oc] svelte-tippy a tippy.js action for svelte with full typescript support!
At ok, legit. that's like a modifier from ember.

Real talk: Did I make a mistake choosing Ember for my app?
have you seen: https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/779? I think that addresses the "where does this come from?" in completion.

Vercel Welcomes Rich Harris, Creator of Svelte
What I like about Ember is that it gives a lot of rigid structure that, at least at one point, made it comparatively easy to work on multiple Ember based projects and be productive sooner.
As you've pointed out, a problem with that project is that there's a ton of intimate knowledge for how things work under the hood or why things are the way they are. They also seem to oscillate between opting for simplicity and opting for complexity and magic.
One example would be the latest version of Ember which doesn't even ship with `@ember/render-modifiers` by default despite how everyone will end up installing it anyway because it's necessary; they were talking about providing an alternative based on the actor model, despite modifiers being far easier to understand, somehow they are still wrong:
> Either way, we recommend using these modifiers with caution. They are very useful for quickly bridging the gap between classic components and Glimmer components, but they are still generally an anti-pattern.
https://github.com/emberjs/ember-render-modifiers
Why on earth did they reinvent components and ship them without providing the supposedly correct way of interacting with their lifecycle? You actually have to install a separate add-on to develop a production-ready app with Ember, which completely flies in the face of the idea that you can run `ember new` and have pretty much everything you need.
Strangely (an thankfully), the RFC for the needlessly complicated alternative for lifecycle interaction is effectively stalled:
https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/567
By their own language, the only official way to interact with component/element lifecycle is an antipattern.

Reusable Input Datalist
When I work with HTMX I need isolated component that can be reusable a form. So I create a PHP Function that generate the Input Datalist.
-
HTMZ inspired form subission
I was inspired by htmz (which was in turn inspired by htmx) and how the author got pretty close to a basic htmx-like experience just using an iframe. I wanted to push it a little further so whipped this demo together. My submission demonstrates progressive enhancement for the form - with js enabled the request targets an iframe that is inserted into the dom, meaning the page doesn't actually navigate (similar to event.preventDefault()). The iframe receives the html response from the request and on load triggers a function to swap out it's contents into the main page.

Example Java Application with Embedded Jetty and a htmx Website
As described on htmx.org: "htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext"

Show HN: ZakuChess, an open source web game built with Django, Htmx and Tailwind
Apart from the source code itself, the repo's README also gives a bit more details about the various packages I used.

Show HN: Alpine Ajax – If Htmx and Alpine.js Had a Baby
Also, there’s some response header juggling you have to do when submitting forms that have a validation step before redirecting: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/369
I’ve tried to iron out any footguns or server requirements I’ve bumped into while using HTMX & Hotwire in my projects.

🤓 My top 3 Go packages that I wish I'd known about earlier
✨ In recent months, I have been developing web projects using GOTTHA stack: Go + Templ + Tailwind CSS + htmx + Alpine.js. As soon as I'm ready to talk about all the subtleties and pitfalls, I'll post it on my social networks.

Go + Hypermedia - A Learning Journey (Part 1)
I've been digging into HTMX lately (using Python web frameworks) and find the concepts and approach to be interesting and promising. The idea of hypermedia driven systems over the current practice of JavaScript based frameworks (I never really got into React, played with Vue, and enjoy Svelte/SvelteKit) and the ability to chose your language/framework for the backend while primarily leveraging HTML/CSS on the frontend just seems refreshing.

Htmx become 0 clause BSD-licensed
Apparently it changed from 2-clause BSD: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/commit/e16f1865a494b6...
(The zero clause license drops the requirements for preserving the copyright notice when distributing)

Web frameworks we are most excited for in 2024
It would be a sin not to start with something that prides itself on being the front-end library of peace. HTMX skyrocketed in popularity in 2023, gaining most of its GitHub stars during the past year. HTMX is not your average JS framework. If you work in HTMX, you will spend most of your time in the world of hypermedia, looking at web development from a completely different pair of eyes as compared to our usual JS-heavy outlook on modern web development. HTMX leverages the power of the concept of HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State), enabling developers to access browser features directly from HTML, instead of using Javascript.
