The Django Steering Council has issued a Letter of Collaboration supporting the Triptych Project, a funding initiative by Carson Gross and Alex Petros to add three HTML standard enhancements: PUT/PATCH/DELETE form methods, button actions (buttons that make HTTP requests without a wrapping form), and partial page replacement. These proposals aim to bring the core patterns popularized by HTMX and similar libraries directly into the HTML spec, reducing JavaScript dependency. The post explains Django's alignment with the HTML-over-the-wire movement, highlights concrete examples like the Django admin's submit row, and calls on companies and individuals to submit letters of support and engage with the WHATWG issues.
