Description

I am not sure where to propose to add an alternative here: https://htmx.org/essays/alternatives/

I’d like to suggest adding EHTML to the “Alternatives” section on the HTMX website. EHTML is an HTML-first, no-build approach for building dynamic pages, and it fits naturally among tools that share similar values around simplicity, browser-native workflows, and minimal client-side JavaScript.

EHTML extends standard HTML with a small set of custom elements and data-* attributes that make it easy to load content, handle forms, manage state, build reusable UI parts, and work with AJAX and WebSockets — all while staying very close to the browser. It’s designed for people who prefer lightweight, declarative development without bundlers or heavy frameworks.

I’m not trying to promote it aggressively; I just think some developers exploring HTMX might appreciate knowing about another option in the same philosophy space. If it seems like a good fit, here’s the website for reference: https://e-html.org/

Thanks for considering it, and thank you for all the work on HTMX — it’s helped a lot of people rethink how they build for the web.
