Fixi is a new hyper-minimalist javascript library. At less than 4kb, it gives much of the power of similar hypermedia libraries like htmx, with a new stream-lined approach.
Use attributes like fx-action, fx-method, fx-trigger, and fx-swap to perform ajax requests to work with html from your server.
In this episode Lazarus talks to its creator, Jason Cross.
