htmx is a great library. I can see a back-end-for-front-end pattern where a thin 'UI' layer emits the html/js/css based on orchestrating calls to REST/GraphQL APIs - where those already exist, or where having an API makes sense for native apps on mobile for example.

To serve html to htmx sites closer to the caller/user, a developer can run the backend on something like https://controlplane.com (disclosure - I run Control Plane) where a request from Australia is served from Sydney and a request from New York is served from aws-us-east-2 for example.

In short, htmx looks great because of the simplicity. I am sure it will be used by a lot of developers. Nice work!
