About · Boosted navigation
The second page of the boosted mini-site.
About
Look at the tab title. It changed too. htmx reads the <title> from the fetched page and updates the document.
Everything on this page came from the server as a full HTML document, rendered by the same Astro layout as every other page. htmx only used the body.
What to look at
Boosting used to matter more, back when browsers flashed white between pages. They mostly don't anymore. What is left is hx-preserve, which is still the only way to keep a live element across navigation, and the CSS transitions.
If you don't need either, plain links are fine. The AHA stack is not about avoiding page loads at all costs.
