As a rails dev who's been messing around with Hotwire, I'm really intrigued by HTMX. I gotta try it out! Also looking forward to your "setting up nvim for rails development" video! Good stuff!
This looks fantastic!, I have been struggling with the common Nextjs/SSR/Fullstack choice so going back to Rails MVC/Monolith approach feels like a breath of fresh air
I'm partial to use HTMX with Golang, using the Templ package for templating. Golang already has great templating features, but Templ makes things even easier.
I'm struggling to see the advantages over Turbo. Turbo offers a similar implementation, along with a broader feature set, and has become the standard for Rails.
I like Turbo/Hotwire. But I also like HTMX. 😅 I feel that with Hotwire things follow more the "rails way", most things just work out of the box. With HTMX you get more "locality of behavior". You just look at the htmx attributes within a tag and know everything (or almost) of what is happening. I like pairing htmx (for client-server interactions) and alpine (for managing minor/transient client side state and UI effects). If using vscode there are some extensions that will give you autocomplete and inline docs for htmx and alpine, which is nice. The downside: to have a nicer DX in the editor I'm not longer using rails views helpers. Not a big deal though IMO. At the end of the day both Hotwire and HTMX offer a very nice alternative for people who wants to build highly interactive non-SPA applications.
You may have waited 8 months for it, but a free workshop is the reward - join us next week! learn.typecraft.dev/neovim-and-zellij-ruby-on-rails-edition/
The "App in production" crashed my Firefox with Out of memory, that crashed Gnome and all on it.. 16GB ram.. impressive! Recommending this stack first thing tmrw at work.. lol
Hey, that was a fun and informative video! The horror web stack sounds intriguing, and I appreciate the way you explained the benefits of HTM X and its synergy with Ruby on Rails. 🧙♂ Keep up the great work, and looking forward to more content from you! 🎃
thanks nerd
this guy...
I hadn't even watched the video yet lol@@typecraft_dev
why is nerd not a valid username? im unsubbing@@typecraft_dev
@@mahirabbas3700 someone beat you to the punch!
ill be faster next time 😅@@typecraft_dev
I hope I didn't scare you guys too much with this web stack. Think you'll still use it?

I've actually been thinking of polishing off rails and seeing how it stands up with modern tech backing it up. Cool work.
Rails is still great! even without htmx. stimulus hotwire etc... are all nice
I am seeing some common patterns with stimulus/turbo here, but without the extra need for a separate js file. Super cool 👻
please make more content on htmx on rails

Show us how to set up Nvim with Ruby/RoR. Great channel btw, I use your Tmux config everyday.
Awesome! will do soon :)
HTMX on Rails sounds great! I was dwelling into Hotwire but hmm...
htmx, baby ...
Very spooky, love it.
Cool video! Will you make one about that stream deck down there? :)
Haha probably not?
@@typecraft_dev 🤣
A post then? Something! Looks cool!

Turbo is great too. This is merely an experiment with htmx for fun

The advantage is "no js involved". It may not be much, but that is!
if you are using Rails how do you use neovim for rails development? Maybe you could make a video about this topic.

Is there a GitHub repo for this app?

It killed Chrome too.. I'm loving it..

very cool, thanks
Glad you liked it!
For me it doesn't beat Phoenix Liveview
I love phoenix. I gotta try that out!
Htmx is written in JavaScript😂
Htmx On Ruby On Rails = HORROR (?)
That's... not how acronyms works...
A little extra R for artistic liberty
Ruby isn't the future of anything lol
