HTMX + Flask: Modern Python Web Apps, Hold the JavaScript - Michael Kennedy

See how to combine htmx for building dynamic, interactive web apps in 100% Flask and Python without the need for frontend frameworks like Vue.js and others.
There has been a strong drumbeat to move away from server-side programming and lean more and more heavily on JavaScript, especially for dynamic and interactive web sites. With the recent release of HTMX, there is another path Python developers can choose. Use declarative programming on the client side with nearly pure HTML and CSS and double down on back-end Python (Flask, Django, FastAPI, and other frameworks). In this session, Michael Kennedy will present some of the cleanest Flask code you have seen while at the same time adding rich interactivity on the front-end -- all the while with no JavaScript in side. It's a new, and likely better, way to think about building dynamic Python web apps.

Great presentation. I've been a long time listener of your podcast and that is the first time I see your face. 😂. Congratulations

[@thepackbot]

you're blowing my mind! soooo cool man.

[@KarstenHeymann]

Wouldn't it be simpler to use the "load" trigger instead of the partial render Tag?

[@Lexaire]

That's an extra call to the server on load. This avoids an extra call, showing the page to the user faster.

You could totally use this without coming up with another useless stack acronym. Everybody wants to feel special. It's just htmx. Use it wherever. That's it. No acronym needed.

Another Near Useless Stack name. 👍
