@fontawesome my kingdom (and recently broken wrist 😭) for official an Stream Deck pack 😭

[Thomas Cannon @tcannonfodder]

This, 1000%. I still stand strongly behind CableReady being the better approach than Turbo

Even though I don’t use Updateable much, the reusability & extendability of CableReady’s foundation can’t be beat. https://t.co/WZwQQinhdR

[Julian Rubisch @julian_rubisch]

(very) unpopular opinion: After spending some time with Turbo 8 Page Refreshes, I still find CableReady::Updatable's DX superior.

Why? Because you can specify directly in the view which parts of the page should be reactive, _without_ having to set up separate stream sources etc.

Every day is further proof that we simply need to use UTC across the board. No more timezones.

They have played us for absolute fools

Finally getting the chance to listen! it’s very funny that the frontend convo happened right before I published this guide 😂

Episode 39 is in the queue! 📥 Nate Berkopec (@nateberkopec) joins us to talk about his consulting career, finding his niche in Rails performance, and what he's been up to most recently. Nate, thanks for all the insights you shared! 😊

@jeremysmithco Well until Liminal ships at least 😄

[Thomas Cannon @tcannonfodder]

@jeremysmithco Well I DID suggest we not talk about any work stuff so not your fault there 😂😂

But yeah! I’m just glad folks other than myself, especially high-level folks like Nate, are seeing the same problems I am

[Thomas Cannon @tcannonfodder]

@_swanson @danecando You definitely aren’t alone in that feeling; I wrote 3K words with a bunch of source about this exact thing https://t.co/WZwQQinhdR

IMO Hotwire is such a footgun for the Ruby ecosystem at large because it causes this feeling of NIH & for us to “not play nice with others”

[Thomas Cannon @tcannonfodder]

I’ll have more to show and a proper writeup soon, but it’s extremely cool that LittleCRM has replies & threading, with realtime updates. And because it’s CableReady/mrujs, I was able to reuse a ton of code & keep the cognitive load to a minimum

[Thomas Cannon @tcannonfodder]

@rsamuelgarcia It's something not contemplated. Strada is the same classification of tooling as PhoneGap/React Native (IMO), which we've proven time and time again doesn't result in great user experiences. PWAs are making great strides, and if you need a native app the new frameworks are good

[Rene Garcia @rsamuelgarcia]

I saw this post and I loved it, designed especially for JS devs, could your app continue working if I disabled JS?🤣🤣

[Thomas Cannon @tcannonfodder]

I'm 99% sure on this, but is this the only way to get as error-tolerant/JS-failing-resilient as possible *modal* dialogs? I know you can use the `popover` attribute; but in this case I *do* want these dialogs to explicitly be modal dialogs

[Thomas Cannon @tcannonfodder]

I’m not saying this is *the* option, but it is an option. And it’s my strongly recommended option—the one I believe to be the most robust and easy to use. Anyways; give it a read, chew on it, and let me know your thoughts 😄

[Thomas Cannon @tcannonfodder]

I just published ~3K words + diagrams + code samples + demo videos on the frontend networking stack I’m choosing for Little CRM, and all my apps going forward.

[Thomas Cannon @tcannonfodder]

Especially on the frontend, given Rails’s history of jettisoning multiple iterations while never having sat down and truly thought out how the code lives on the client side.
