Hotwire vs React/Vue/Alpine/Whatsoever

by Shino Kouda @ShinoKouda

A (surprisingly) healthy Reddit discussion on Hotwire vs. JavaScript front-end frameworks. Yes, it was posted on the Rails subreddit so there is a bit of bias, but it’s still a conversation worth checking out.

by Remote Ruby @remote_ruby

DHH joins the Remote Ruby crew again and gushes over the new Rails 7 features, especially the new answers on the front end. I find it inspiring to hear so much passion coming from someone who’s worked on an open source framework for this long. There’s also a recording of the live stream available.

Breaking out of Turbo Frames

by Lewis Youl @lewisyoul

Clicking a Turbo Frame link can be set to render content inside their own frame or to navigate to a new page. Lewis covers how to wrap multiple links to do the same thing, and how to create an exception for just a few. Useful stuff if you have a lot of conditional logic on the navigation of your frames.
