I built a pretty awesome demo of KTor+SSE and HTMX. At least I think so. Have a look. 🙂 https://blog.f12.no/wp/2024/11/11/htmx-sse-easy-updates-of-html-state-with-no-javascript/

Kjempekul!
Thanks for sharing.

Yet another partial function spotted in Anders' implementation:

fun partialHtml(block: BODY.() -> Unit): String = buildString {
    appendHTML().filter { if (it.tagName in listOf("html", "body")) SKIP else PASS }.html {
        body {
            block(this)
        }
    }
}

Thank you for your article, saved a lot of time for me!
How do you think, am I hallucinating, or not: but it seems like Compose Runtime can be mixed to SSE as a View layer in order to rerender whole virtual DOM we have?
This idea is inspired by Mosaic library, which uses Compose Runtime for building reactive UI in CLI apps.
Also would add that Compose Runtime was inspired by React ideas of virtual DOM.

Not really sure I understand the question, it seems outside my competency. Would have to dive deeper to understand. Sorry. 🙂
