We're doing a #livestream today around a first look at our User Management library here at Duende. Think of it as an alternative to #aspnetcore Identity. It let's you manage users (shocking I know 😅), and their profile, passwords, auth mechanisms, and more.

htmxRazor v1.3.0 is out.

Six features:
- Server-driven data table (sort, filter, pagination)
- Command Palette via Cmd+K
- Focus management after htmx swaps (WCAG 2.4.3)
- CSS container queries, skip nav and landmark Tag Helpers
- Full ARIA Authoring Practices keyboard audit.

The data table fills a real gap. No MIT-licensed #ASPNETCore Tag Helper solution existed for this pattern until now.

No Bootstrap. No client-side JS library. Pure server-rendered #htmx.
