How do I force a refersh in Chrome? Console errors keep suggesting its using htmx2

Thinking

The user is having caching issues - Chrome is using the cached htmx 2 instead of loading htmx 4. They need to do a hard refresh to bypass the cache.

Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac)

Or open DevTools (F12), right-click the refresh button, and select "Empty Cache and Hard Reload".

Great this worked. Do you think this is ready to deploy to github?

Thinking

The user is asking if the site is ready to deploy to GitHub. Let me think about what's ready and what might need cleanup:

  1. The demos work now with htmx 4 + fetch mock
  2. The user made their own edits which I reviewed and liked
  3. There were two typos I mentioned earlier - "ia a fucking" should be "is a fucking" and a missing space before a link

Let me also consider: - The console.log statements are still in the code for debugging - should probably remove those for production - The title in the HTML I noticed says "Please Just Fucking Try HTMX" - not sure if that was intentional or if it should match the domain "pleasejusttryhtmx.com"

I should mention these small cleanup items before they deploy.

Almost. A few cleanup items before deploying:

  1. Remove console.log statements - They're still in the mock for debugging. You probably don't want those in production.

  2. Two typos I mentioned earlier (if you haven't fixed them):

  3. "ia a fucking" → "is a fucking"
  4. Missing space: "of<a href" → "of <a href"

Want me to make those fixes, or do you want to review the file yourself first?

I fixed the typos.

I think it's okay to leave the console logs. This is a page of interest to someone who might be interested in how HTMX would really work, so it is okay to leave logging in IF it only is part of the mock server and does not make the HTMX implementation itself less realistic. wdyt?

Thinking

The user makes a good point. The console.log statements are only in the mock server code, not in the HTMX attributes themselves. Someone looking at the page source would see:

  1. The HTMX attributes on the HTML elements (realistic, production-like)
  2. The mock server script with console.logs (clearly labeled as a mock, educational)

This is actually a good design - the HTMX part is clean and realistic, and the mock server is transparent about what it's doing. The logs could even be educational for someone trying to understand how HTMX makes requests.

I agree with the user's reasoning. Ship it!

You're right. The logs are clearly inside the mock server section (labeled <!-- Mock server for demos -->), not in the HTMX code itself. Anyone viewing source sees:

  • Clean, realistic HTMX attributes on the HTML
  • A transparent mock that shows exactly what requests are being intercepted

If anything, the logs are educational - they show the request/response cycle in action. Ship it.

The section "The Numbers" refers to a case study for COntexte. Can you please add a link to the supporting evidence.

Thinking

The user wants me to add a link to the Contexte case study in "The Numbers" section. I found this earlier in my research - it's from the htmx.org essays section. Let me find the exact URL and add it.

Found it. The case study URL from my earlier research was: https://htmx.org/essays/a-real-world-react-to-htmx-port/

Let me add that link.

Done. Now "Contexte" links to the htmx.org case study essay.
