In recent years, I have not seen another tool that is so inflated. The attention it can garner for a tool where all it does is do simple things by adding attributes to html elements is really weird. Anyway, we need to act as if adding an attribute to the button and changing the value written in it is a very big need. Great job congratulations.


> all it does is do simple things by adding attributes to html elements

It’s extending html to make the most of http by adding some simple attributes.

Like all great things - the building blocks are simple, but the possibilities of what you can build with them is vast.

I think this is really well dealt with in the “opportunities” to extend html in this chapter of the Hypermedia Systems book: https://hypermedia.systems/extending-html-as-hypermedia/


It can do a lot more than just changing the value written in a button. I'd say that the hype is more centered around the fact that it helps you to do much more interactive and SPA-like websites without needing a full JS framework and on your favourite server stack, which is honestly really cool.
