Hi HN,

I have a personal project for managing my monthly bills. Ten years ago I wrote it in React (and even posted it here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12010853 - zero comments lol). Recently I rewrote it using HTMX and the newly-beta Web Awesome.

I'm really happy with the result. IMO it feels like a 2025 website should – it has animations, loading indicators, a nice theme, etc. No landing page though. Again, I wrote this to solve my own problem, not to create a product to sell.

I'd encourage folks to check it out to see that an HTMX site can look & feel just as modern as a React site.

NB: use dummy data and bogus emails – I don't want your real data.

Thanks for reading :)

Good idea.

I posted this for the htmx-curious, who can use fake emails and fake data, because you're absolutely right: no one should be signing up for random sites with their real info.
