Hey Nate,

I've heard you talk about StimulusReflex in the Remote Ruby podcast and I've been wanting to try it out (I'm relatively new in Rails). My question is, would you recommend that I try out StimulusJS and Turbolinks first before I dive into StimulusReflex?

I'm kind of reluctant to learn other frontend frameworks as "I think" that they could complicate app development. But looking at job postings, companies prefer Rails developers who can also work in one of the popular frontend frameworks.

Would love to contribute to this project someday as I gain more experience in Rails.

Your intuition is 100% correct. Start with standard Rails tooling first. Then, once you’ve learned what’s possible there and what the limitations are, then reach for CableReady and StimulusReflex. Also, we’d love to have you contributing whenever you’re ready to jump in. ❤️
