    </> htmx - high power tools for HTML

    true, but HTML-only websites are often pretty clunky

    infuriatingly, if HTML had just a bit more oomph, we could make a lot better websites with it, but they haven't been moving HTML forward as a hypermedia for decades now (see https://htmx.org for what I mean, they could implement this concept in the browser in a week, and it would change web development dramatically)

    the upcoming view transitions API will help:

    but, still, there are some really obvious and simple things that could be done to make HTML much more compelling (let's start by making PUT, PATCH and DELETE available in HTML!)
