Yes! You’ve reminded me that there’s some subtle gotchas when using HTMX server-side that are probably worth documenting too. For one, HTMX starts with the assumption that you’re returning HTML fragments, but not all templating languages have good support for decomposing layouts into fragments. You can work around this using hx-select but Alpine AJAX works kind of like hx-select by default. Also, there’s some response header juggling you have to do when submitting forms that have a validation step before redirecting: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/369

I’ve tried to iron out any footguns or server requirements I’ve bumped into while using HTMX & Hotwire in my projects.
