I've added htmx to my blog.  It's extra bloatware that I long avoided, but it's
so damn convenient.

Ok so it's not bloatware, but it's not the theme I was going for.  I wanted my
site to be as lightweight as possible.  I had at one point gone too far and had
Mb's of react that did not provide any value for the end user.

<div hx-get='/recent-thoughts/partial' hx-trigger='load'></div>

<div hx-get='/recently-written/partial' hx-trigger='load'></div>

## can it be done with jinja

<div>
{% with feed = markata.feeds.recent_thoughts %}
{% include 'feed_sm_partial.html' %}
{% endwith %}
</div>
