Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Htmx and the Rule of Least Power
An early version of Htmx was in fact based on jQuery (https://intercoolerjs.org).

Rage: Fast web framework compatible with Rails
I used HTMX since the intercooler days [0] but the stuff you can make is rather limited. Also you still need the JS to deal with a11y things like expanded state (or hyperscript, apparently).
If you have a lot of components to implement, everything requires thinking.
I really love it for simple applications though. Resist implementing a complicated menu, live notifications, an editable data-table and such non-web-native things and you can create the fastest CRUD app ever.
And you will need another client, but that's not really an issue if your view model does not contain non-public data (it shouldn't), as you can convert it to JSON at the same endpoint and call it an API.

Htmx is part of the GitHub Accelerator
to an extent, there was `jQuery.get` but it wasn't tightly integrated with HTML
the original version of htmx was intercooler.js:
https://intercoolerjs.org
released in 2013, and that version depended on jQuery

Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?
You asked for it:
https://htmx.org
https://hyperscript.org
I hated angular when it first came out and couldn't believe what insanity people were willing to come up with, so long as it came from google. (e.g. GWT) I created https://intercoolerjs.org out of frustration with that, and the lack of progress in HTML/hypermedia in general, so I could build a web application I was working on (https://leaddyno.com, since sold).
When covid hit I took a look back at intercooler and decided that it was really two things: HTML++ and a scripting language, so I split it up into htmx, focused just on the hypermedia angle, and hyperscript, the scripting language I wanted for the web (derived from HyperTalk, and old scripting language from HyperCard on the mac).
I know use them both professionally (email me if you want to use them too.)

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I created intercooler.js in 2013 so I could do AJAX in HTML:
https://intercoolerjs.org
Last year I removed the jquery dependency and cleaned it up based on a lot of lessons that I learned, renaming it to hmtx:
https://htmx.org
Same idea: extends/complete HTML as a hypertext so you can build more advanced UI within the original hypermedia web model, and cleaner implementation.
Part of that cleanup involved me pulling out some functionality around events and a proto-scripting language (ic-action), and I enjoy programming languages, so I created a front end scripting language to fill that need:
https://hyperscript.org
It's based on HyperTalk and has a lot of domain specific features for lightweight front end scripting, kind of a jQuery or AlpineJS alternative.

Ask HN: I feel my career is at a dead end. Any advice on what could I do?
This is my experience, and your mileage may vary:
Multiple times in my coding career I have felt stalled and/or like I was regressing.
Early on, I worked on a programming language, gosu (https://gosu-lang.github.io/) which ended up not really going anywhere. Once the work on it was done, I returned to more mundane web programming for a while. A long while after that, and unexpectedly, I turned a jQuery function I was noodling on into intercooler.js (https://intercoolerjs.org/). After a year of that I returned to mundane web programming for quite a while. Unexpectedly, a year ago, the country shut down. I was at home and decided to see if I could remove the jQuery dependency in intercooler.js, and so created htmx (https://htmx.org/). When creating htmx and removing some attribute/functionality, I realized that a small programming language would be the ideal replacement, so I created hyperscript: https://hyperscript.org/. I had not expected to work on a programming language again, but now I am.
So my career has been some very exciting technical projects punctuating long stretches of pretty basic web development, where the most exciting thing is me wondering if I can figure out what the deuce is wrong with my CSS. My takeaway here, at least in my career, is that patience is a virtue, and the interesting stuff tends to come up at irregular intervals and in unexpected moments and ways.

HTML over-the-wire is the future of Web Development
htmx is the successor to intercooler.js. It swaps parts of the page, not the whole page like Turbolinks. htmx allows you to access 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

JSON encoder/decoder supporting omitempty on structs
Use-case: working on PATCH requests, the body may or may not contain nullable values. I am using guregu/null and I can't use a pointer because if the json contains "null" as a value, the pointer will be set to nil in the struct, instead of a value representing the presence of null. In short I can't differentiate the absence of the field in the request from the presence of the field with a null value.

Nilable - finally a way to stop using pointers just to get the nil state
https://github.com/guregu/null is an awesome package implementing most SQL scanner Interfaces plus JSON
- Golang backend with lots of raw SQL queries
-
Is there a downside to treating possible null values in DB as pointers in struct?
There’s also this: https://github.com/guregu/null

Gonion - Golang Client for querying Tor network data
Unfortunately in Go, switching to *bool makes the api a little more awkward to use since users that need to set true or false have to define a local variable then use a pointer to that. Another option would be something like null, but that adds a dependency to your currently-dependency-free project. If anyone has a better solution to this pattern, I'd love to hear it.
