Looks like the next-generation low-JavaScript coding solution has arrived. Django LiveView, the HTMX competitor that passes HTML via WebSocket. Looking forward to getting my hands dirty with it! 😍 🐍 🐴 https://django-liveview.andros.dev/ by @andros #django #python #lowjs #htmx #websocket

@peterbittner @andros

what's the hardware requirement for using this with? I have no idea how many concurrent connections are feasable tbh.

@C3nC3 @peterbittner These are the same requirements as setting up Django with Channels.

@peterbittner @andros oh exciting!!

I haven't used htmx with WebSockets and channels, but I've seen it demoed at talks and I can easily find blog posts about it. In principle, this is not really a problem, or is it?

@benjaoming @peterbittner Using htmx with WebSockets isn't a problem, you're right. But... you can't do the same thing as Django LiveView. I encourage you to look at some examples in the documentation to explore the possibilities 😄

@andros @peterbittner yes, I was actually reading it, and it does a nice job of explaining the approach. I was asking the question because the documentation reflects that htmx somehow excludes Websockets and channels (where it says "Multi-user ❌" in the table row of htmx)

But that was just a nit, overall very exciting! Thanks for the work and the sharing!
