For better or for worse, htmx has collected a lot of lore, mainly around [the twitter account](https://twitter.com/htmx_org):
|
|
|
|
## It's So Over/We're So Back
|
|
|
|
A common set of phrases used by htmx enthusiasts when, for example, [@bunjavascript told me to delete my account](https://x.com/bunjavascript/status/1708557665268568412)
|
|
|
|
## htmx CEO
|
|
|
|
At one point there was a hostile takeover attempt of the htmx CEO position and, in a desperate poison pill, I declared
|
|
everyone CEO of htmx. [Turk](https://x.com/gitpush_gitpaid) created https://htmx.ceo if you want to register at the CEO.
|
|
|
|
If someone emails hr@bigsky.software asking if you are CEO of htmx, I will tell them yes.
|
|
|
|
You can put it on your LinkedIn, because it's true.
|
|
|
|
## Laser Eye Horse
|
|
|
|
At some point I photoshopped lasers onto a horse mask, as kind of an homage to [@horse_js](https://x.com/horse_js).
|
|
|
|
For some reason it stuck and now it's the [official unofficial](https://swag.htmx.org/products/i-lied-sticker) mascot of htmx.
|
|
|
|
## Spieltrieb
|
|
|
|
Spieltrieb means "play drive", and is a big part of the [htmx vibe](https://x.com/search?q=spieltrieb%20from%3Ahtmx_org&src=typed_query).
|
|
|
|
## Pickles
|
|
|
|
At some point someone (I think [@techsavvytravvy](https://x.com/techsavvytravvy)), generated a grug AI image, and there
|
|
was a pickle smiling in a really bizzare way in it. So we started riffing on pickles and now
|
|
[there's a shirt](https://swag.htmx.org/products/htmx-pickle-shirt).
|
|
|
|
## Shut Up Warren
|
|
|
|
[@WarrenInTheBuff](https://x.com/WarrenInTheBuff) is the king of twitter and we regularly fight with him. This often
|
|
ends in someone saying ["shut up warren"](https://x.com/ThePrimeagen/status/1792564215749779515).
|
|
|
|
You can see the htmx website do this by going to <https://htmx.org?suw=true>

|
|
## Microsoft Purchase Rumor
|
|
|
|
In January of 2024 I make the htmx twitter account really serious for a week and started quote tweeting things
|
|
about microsoft. People started worrying. I announced a [license change](https://x.com/htmx_org/status/1746736273728094323)
|
|
to get people freaked out about a rug pull.
|
|
|
|
[I then changed htmx to BSD0](https://x.com/htmx_org/status/1746880860723544211)
|
|
|
|
[This is the offer](https://x.com/htmx_org/status/1746895016256328079) I got from microsoft (real).
|
|
|
|
## (same thing)
|
|
|
|
I believe that [this tweet](https://x.com/htmx_org/status/1672264927136952322) is the origin of the (same thing) meme
|
|
|
|
## Stronger Together
|
|
|
|
In Decemer of 2023, I was trying to get some indonesian twitter users to take a look at htmx, so I created a
|
|
["Montana & Indonesia, Stronger Together!"](https://x.com/htmx_org/status/1734371865156563428) tweet w/an AI image.
|
|
|
|
This turned into a [whole series of tweets](https://x.com/search?q=%22stronger%20together%22%20from%3A%40htmx_org&src=typed_query&f=live).
|
|
|
|
## The Le Marquee d'<something>
|
|
|
|
In December of 2024, I [added a marquee tag](https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/commit/2b88d967c19619281228d1bf5398751615bdf462) to
|
|
the htmx website and started using the honorific (sic) in my twitter title.
|
|
|
|
## htmx sucks
|
|
|
|
I wrote an essay called [htmx sucks](@/essays/htmx-sucks.md) in which I criticize htmx (some valid, some tongue in
|
|
cheek, most both.) I also released [a mug](https://swag.htmx.org/products/htmx-sucks-mug) that I will often link to when people are criticizing htmx.
|
|
|
|
## Jason Knight
|
|
|
|
Jason Knight [hates htmx](https://x.com/JasonKn99664124/status/1731555036864381251) and wrote a
|
|
[great post](https://archive.is/rQrl7) about it.
|
|
|
|
Please don't harass him, [I draw energy](https://x.com/htmx_org/status/1756476449693872635) from his posts.
|
|
|
|
## Drop Downs
|
|
|
|
In July of 2023, sparked by the accusation that htmx users could not create dropdowns, I did a deep-dive into web
|
|
drop down technology and [uncovered a bombshell](https://x.com/htmx_org/status/1684936514885869568)
|
|
|
|
## "htmx is a front end library of peace"
|
|
|
|
A phrase I will often [quote tweet](https://x.com/search?q=htmx%20is%20a%20front%20end%20library%20of%20peace%20from%3A%40htmx_org&src=typed_query&f=live)
|
|
violent htmx-related imagery with.
|
|
|
|
## "that's ridiculous"
|
|
|
|
In [June of 2023](https://x.com/htmx_org/status/1807183339222405317), [@srasash](https://twitter.com/srasash) accussed
|
|
htmx of being a government op, the first in many such increasingly ridiculous claims. I typically quote-tweet these
|
|
claims and point out that ["that's ridiculous"](https://x.com/search?q=%22that%27s%20ridiculous%22%20from%3A%40htmx_org&src=typed_query&f=live)
|
|
|
|
## Grug

## The htmx/intercooler.js feud
|
|
|
|
The htmx & [intercooler.js](https://x.com/intercoolerjs) twitter accounts often fight with one another. Sometimes its
|
|
just me [switching back and forth](https://x.com/intercoolerjs/status/1859652045399355559), but two other people have
|
|
access to the intercooler account, so sometimes I have no idea who I am fighting with.
