The joke here is that there are few things in tech less boring than StimulusReflex and CableReady.

Come on in, the water is warm!

Yeah, I will for sure. I was starting to investigate StimulusReflex when HOTWire dropped, so I played with that and frankly it just didn't sit well with me. In my day job I do a lot of Elixir, so maybe I'm just looking for something more inspired by LiveView (which I know you were with StimulusReflex).

Speaking only for myself, Hotwire sucks. I know that I am probably not supposed to say that as an adult who is involved with building a technically competing tool... but it's just true. It's not good.

Haha, I know you built StimulusReflex but for some reason hearing that is very validating. You've sold me this weekend I will spin up a greenfield Rails project and play with StimulusReflex!

Ha! That's me at my tired and grumpiest! :)

FWIW, I'm only one of an extended family of awesome folks who build SR and CableReady together. It's a labour of love and hopefully bigger than the mere sum of its parts.

When you're ready to get started, definitely drop by discord.gg/stimulus-reflex and we'll help however we can.

Been doing this for 20 minutes and I already love it, everything seems to just work and the docs are way better than HOTWire.
