Brock Benson - From vuejs to htmx: the good, the bad, and the ugly

In this episode I talk to Brock Benson, creator of Mayples, a business valuation SaaS. Last year, Brock made the decision to rewrite his large-scale, Live VueJS production app into an htmx app. During this rebuild, Brock went on a journey into the internals of htmx, built his own extensions, embraced _hyperscript, and pushed against the limits of htmx.

Does it scale? What were the pain points? What tricks did he come up? How does it compare with his earlier Vue version of the same app? 

I hope you enjoy this in-depth conversation with premiere htmx application developer Brock Benson.
