HTMX and Streaming HTML

I'm playing around with using HTMX and Django's ability to stream HTML to improve the user experience. Basically, we'll load the static parts (like the footer, navbar, etc.) of the page templates as soon as possible, and then load the data as it becomes available and render its fragment of HTML. Not sure if this will be pushed to production or not until I do more testing, but it's something worth looking into.
