I would say “reduced”

They aren’t “digitizing them” as if they are making them available online.

They are creating embedding vectors and training documents - changing whatever they want - and destroying the original copy so nobody knows what was actually said.

It is just like book burning.

The gigantic loss is that they are destroying the original copy.

They aren’t verbatim uploading the text 1:1. They are creating vector embeddings and training documents from it, changing whatever they want since it’s in private and protected by NDA, and destroying the original source of information so that nobody knows what was originally recorded.

I agree, this is bad.

They’re privately putting info into their LLMs, changing whatever they want, sorry, “sanitizing” then destroying the original.

As others mentioned, not great for rich interactivity.

Example: Render a scrollable list and you need to change contents of the li items mid scroll - it resets the scroll position to the top because of how it replaced the entire HTML on render. There are workarounds you can do, DOM hacks, but they aren’t ideal.

React is designed around that kind of thing. They do some funny magic under the hood to support seamless DOM reconciliation and things like prop drilling of entire components on the prop of another, and so-on. This gives them a more granular way to manipulate the DOM without total page re-rendering.

Next.js SSR works because it’s designed around React. So they’re giving you all the SSR stuff you want but you still get client-side React for rich interaction design and other SPA niceties.

So if someone releases an SSR-like thing like htmx it feels like something is missing.

Maybe htmx needs an opinionated framework that gets more into high performance rendering and state management.

Or maybe they hone in on the “basic web pages” market. Who knows, maybe those make a comeback somewhere. PDF gets replaced with standalone HTML or something, and people use HTMX, or maybe it’s used in a dev environment for HTML email design in some future where email can have events (who knows). Couple of ideas.

Right now it feel incomplete or has nowhere for me to plug it in. Love the concepts though, HTML/JS should have been like that.
