Jack Herrington has a 9 mins long video on HTMX + Astro where he shows how to npm install and configure htmx in Astro

What are the real prod use cases for HTMX? Seems like sprinkling into existing traditional server rendered sites / apps. Building a whole app with it seems awkward.

when people are saying back in the day I think they're talking about before 10 yrs ago.

I find it better to serve the JS file for HTMX myself from my server. But CDN is the way most people prefer to do it

[jirgrami]

It seems very useful but why .astro tho? what if the user goes to that file path instead, isnt that just a public route? how can i protect that "endpoint"

[abrotherinchrist]

With Islands isn't it now pointless to use HTMX with Astro?

thanks James, can you tell me about security to avoid other websites using your api on htmx and Astro?
