<p>Congratulations! I've been using Intercooler for a while now and haven't tried htmx yet, but am looking forward to switching over. I really appreciate that you're continuing to work on tools that make this approach to webdev easier.<p>I know the post says not to do it, but I'm planning to convert an existing project from Intercooler. Anything specific that I should watch out for while doing it, or recommendations for new capabilities that I could take advantage of as part of the switch?</p>

<p>I haven't looked into htmx much yet, but am using its predecessor intercooler-js, and this is my code for handling server responses and displaying an error message when it's needed: <a href="https://gitlab.com/tildes/tildes/-/blob/master/tildes/static/js/scripts.js#L29-85" rel="nofollow">https://gitlab.com/tildes/tildes/-/blob/master/tildes/static...</a><p>I wouldn't consider it particularly <i>elegant</i>, but it's straightforward and has worked well. It uses the "complete.ic" event to trigger whenever an intercooler request finishes, and then uses the response status/code/text to display an appropriate message.</p>

<p>Using an article entirely as an excuse to soapbox about something that's barely related should always be downvoted. Even if you agree with it, that doesn't make it a relevant (or good) comment.</p>

<p>Here's a diff between the two orders, if anyone else is curious about the specific changes. I used the TikTok/ByteDance order as the "original", so removals and additions are relative to changing that one into the WeChat/Tencent one: <a href="https://gist.github.com/Deimos/8fcb95ec4017cf1a28e32f6057a91e01/revisions" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Deimos/8fcb95ec4017cf1a28e32f6057a91...</a></p>

<p>Did you edit in the quote from the EO after? It specifically says "any transaction that is related to WeChat". The TikTok/ByteDance order doesn't include a "related to" qualifier like that, the same section in it just says:<p><pre><code>    any transaction by any person, or with respect to any property, [...] with ByteDance Ltd.
</code></pre>
It's still not clear what exactly that will mean, but the intention definitely seems to be to restrict it to WeChat and not hit <i>everything</i> from Tencent.</p>

<p>Also worth noting that according to Crunchbase, Soup received at least €80,000 in venture capital in 2007 and 2008: <a href="https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/soup-io#section-funding-rounds" rel="nofollow">https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/soup-io#section-fund...</a><p>Yes, that's not a massive amount of money and it was a long time ago, but it should still mean that they're not totally in control of the company, and that there are investors that have been expecting a return out of it eventually. Just reaching a break-even/moderately-profitable state probably wouldn't have been good enough.<p>I also see this article on TechCrunch talking about "soup.me" receiving $530,000 in VC in 2012: <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2012/02/14/soup-me-lands-530000-lets-you-aggregate-your-digital-life-or-something/" rel="nofollow">https://techcrunch.com/2012/02/14/soup-me-lands-530000-lets-...</a><p>It specifically says that it's a "reboot service" of soup.io, but the soup.me site no longer exists, so I'm not certain. Their inactive Twitter account (<a href="https://twitter.com/soup_me" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/soup_me</a>) does have an identical logo and a location of Vienna (same as soup.io), so it's probably true that it's the same company.<p>That's definitely a much larger amount of VC, and would make it even less possible for "sustainable" to be an acceptable end goal for the site.</p>

<p>I'd recommend uMatrix over NoScript. I used NoScript for years but switched over to uMatrix a few years ago (at the time it was working in Firefox Quantum but NoScript didn't yet), and I like it better now.<p>It's quite a bit easier to see what's going on, toggle scripts and other assets from multiple sources, and you can change the defaults to do things like allow first-party scripts by default if you don't want to go all the way to full blocking.<p>It takes a while to get used to using a script-blocker like it, but it's pretty straightforward most of the time, and once you get your most commonly-used sites set up you don't need to mess around with it very often.</p>
