hey HN, i have been working on an extremely minimal implementation of htmx called fixi.js
the idea with this project is to boil the concept of generalized hypermedia controls down to the absolute essence, keeping the library as small as possible while still being useful
it doesn't have a lot of the niceties of htmx and almost certainly will require some javascript work for real-world usages (it's designed to be extended via events) but might appeal to people comfortable with JS and who like ultra-minimalism
the minimalism also extends to the project itself, which consists of three files: fixi.js, README.md and test.html. There are no dependencies (i wrote my own hack of a visual testing harness), no build step, no minification and fixi isn't distributed via NPM. The fixi.js file itself is 3268 bytes, unminified and uncompressed, and 1176 bytes when brotli compressed.
i don't expect this to be nearly as widely adopted as htmx due to the minimal ergonomics, but thought people here might find it interesting
