You can see an example for simple interactions where htmx should be used in this [PR](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/28908). Do not use htmx if you require more advanced reactivity, use another framework (Vue/Vanilla JS). Although mixing different frameworks is discouraged, it should also work if the mixing is necessary and the code is well-designed and maintainable.
