On: Moving from React to htmx

[zarzavat]

How do you implement, e.g. a sortable table if the server sends HTML rather than JSON? Have we gone full circle and gone back to jQuery?

Here's the sortable example: https://htmx.org/examples/sortable/

IMHO something slightly more complex than this example (more client side stat) will require using something like React/Vue/Svelte. But there's no need to rewrite the whole FE. Just create a component that performs the rich client side interaction and use HTMX for the rest of your app. Win-Win.
