htmx is now mature enough that I can recommend it as a general replacement for intercooler.js
projects. I **don't** think there is a strong reason to port an existing intercooler project to

htmx is a different sort of javascript library. It is an HTML & hypertext-oriented reply to the current dominance of javascript-based SPA libraries. It a response to Tom MacWright's question:
["If not SPAs, What?"](https://macwright.com/2020/10/28/if-not-spas.html).
If the idea seems simple, that's because it is: HTML-oriented web development was abandoned because HTML didn't have sufficient expressive power. htmx aims to fix that, and allows you to implement
[many common modern web UI patterns](https://htmx.org/examples/) while remaining firmly in the
world of hypertext.
As the [homepage says](https://htmx.org):
* Why should only `<a>` and `<form>` be able to make HTTP requests?
* Why should only `click` & `submit` events trigger them?
* Why should only GET & POST be available?
* Why should you only be able to replace the entire screen?
HTML-oriented web development was abandoned not because hypertext was a bad idea, but rather because HTML didn't have sufficient expressive power. htmx aims to fix that & allows you to implement [many common modern web UI patterns](https://htmx.org/examples/) using the original hypertext model of the web.
### History & Thanks
htmx began life as [intercooler.js](https://intercoolerjs.org) back in [2013](https://github.com/bigskysoftware/intercooler-js/commit/62d3dbdb5c056ee866aba3575e148de649fc3efe).
In [april](https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/commit/e38dea64dd1065003a0e833d7b469d24e6bc2919) of this year I began work on a jQuery-indepenent & improved version of intercoolerjs, renamed
to htmx. I chose to rename the library because, in working on intercooler, I had come to appreciate that intercooler & htmx were completing HTML as a hypertext, rather than just some idiosyncratic javascript libraries.
to htmx. I chose to rename the library because, in working on intercooler, I had come to appreciate that intercooler & htmx were completing HTML as a hypertext rather than idiosyncratic javascript libraries.
In [May](https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/releases/tag/v0.0.1) htmx reached 0.0.1. Soon thereafter I had the good fortune of being contacted by [Ben Croker](https://twitter.com/ben_pylo)
who was interested in htmx as a base for his new reactive library, [Sprig](https://putyourlightson.com/plugins/sprig). Ben was willing to be an early adopter of htmx and pushed the library along
much faster than it would have gone otherwise.
I have been very lucky to the have help and feedback from many contributors in [Github](https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/graphs/contributors) and on [Discord](https://htmx.org/discord). I'd like to thank, in particular, [Ben Pate](https://github.com/benpate), [Robert Schroll](https://github.com/rschroll), [Alejandro Schmeichler](https://github.com/jreviews) for contributing code as well as new ideas and discussions.

I would like to thank [Devmode.fm](https://devmode.fm/) for having me on to [talk about htmx](episodes/dynamic-html-with-htmx) and for cleaning up all my "uhhs" and "umms".

Finally, I would like to thank [Justin Sampson](https://github.com/jsampson), who took a lot of time to explain REST & HATEOAS to me and how intercooler (and now htmx) fit into that model.
