Modern web apps have gotten complex with frontend frameworks, but do they really need to be? This talk explores how HTMX and Minimal APIs can bring back the simplicity of Web 1.0 while still delivering dynamic, interactive experiences. We’ll break down the problems with JSON APIs, discuss the benefits of hypermedia, and show how HTMX can handle interactivity without the overhead of something like Blazor Web. Expect a practical, no-nonsense look at how to build lightweight, fast, and maintainable web apps—plus a live demo to see it all in action.
