Have you wanted to add more interactivity and liveliness to your web application?

If you built it using flask, Django, or some other Python web framework, that thought probably

Big Sky Software. He's a creator of HTMLX. This front-end JavaScript library lets you leverage the

You know, I'm extremely happy to see HTMLX getting picked up, particularly by the Django community in Python.

And so I was very excited to come on here.

Yeah, I'm really excited to have you here.

It is such a cool technology.

And I think so often the JavaScript story is, oh, you're doing this other technology that you like.

Let us tell you how you should drop that and go do JavaScript, right?

And what I feel HTMLX brings is whatever technology

using Django, flask, even some other thing like Rails or ASP.net, whatever it is that you
