Adds pre-loading to your links and hx-get requests for that extra bit of speed.

https://htmx.org/extensions/preload

Examples: 
https://hypecp.com/#htmx-preload

Adds the hx-swap="morph" option.
Let's you do fine-grained swapping and unlocks smooth css transitions between swapped elements.

https://htmx.org/extensions/idiomorph

Examples:
https://hypecp.com/#htmx-idiomorph

Make your transition from htmx 1 to 2 easier with this extension
"Flip the switch slowly"

https://htmx.org/extensions/htmx-1-compat/

Core htmx extension head-support
Add support for modifying, updating, or replacing items in the tag of your page.

...and why Laz thinks htmx is here to stay.

A wide-ranging conversation with the creator of the real-time hypermedia framework Datastar Delaney Gillilan.

1.0 launches with a full rewrite, a new website, and a non-profit foundation.

* What is datastar?
* What's different in 1.0?
* Why datastar got rid of all dependencies
* Going bigger and planning for the future
* Web devs can learn a thing or two from game devs
* Is SSE going to have its 'moment'?
* Lazarus on why htmx is here to stay
* Taking on Tailwind CSS (Stellar)
* Rethinking web components (Rocket)
* Utilizing UDP (Darkstar)

"we are now at a point that we can ditch build systems for many projects & many people underestimate the amount weight doing so would lift off their burdened shoulders"

I talk to Ronan Berder, the creator of Basecoat UI, a tailwind-based version of ShadCN for non-React projects.

Built specifically for use with server-rendered templates, htmx, vanilla js, alpine, and other hypermedia-based solutions.

Basecoat UI: https://basecoatui.com/
Basecoat Repo: https://github.com/hunvreus/basecoat
Ronan on X: https://x.com/hunvreus

I ask him how he built it, why he built, and what he has in store for it.
