htmx is a niche technology right now but it's enjoying a bit of momentum. It's a refreshing take on frontend compared to the mainstream tools right now (Next.js, Remix and the like). Rather than JavaScript everywhere, htmx gives developers more reasons to use their favourite backend language and still develop interactive web apps.
But anyway, I guess the difficult part is to determine "Significant traction" with some level of objectivity. I'd say something like: a Unicorn company uses htmx prevalently for their web frontend, or a YCombinator submitted startup chooses htmx as part of their stack, or similar. Any suggestions?

htmx finished 2nd in the 2023 JavaScript Rising Stars "Front-end Frameworks" category, just behind React and #10 overall. Does that count as "significant traction"?
Unresolving to ask the creator whether they wanted to resolve Yes right now or have it open longer.
The original close date was 1 month after creation, rather than 2025, so the comment section is uncertain about this. Users commonly panic-resolve a question early if it closes before they intended it to.
@Solecontro Feel free to re-resolve this if you think it has already met the Yes criteria. If not, we will re-open it with a closing date of 2025. Of course, if it reaches Yes before then, you can always resolve it.
@JoelDrapper That very well may be the case, I am going to unresolve it temporarily to confirm with the creator! I noticed the market was originally set to close on 7 November 2023, rather than 2030. Sometimes creators get a notification that their market closed and they need to resolve it, and they panic-resolve before they actually wanted to.
The StackOverflow survey has a "Web frameworks and technologies" section. How about "is in the top N in the 2025 version of https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#web-frameworks-and-technologies " as a criteria, for some value of N (e.g. top 10)?
