Fantastic post, very easy to fall into the trap of always learning and never doing.
One of the greatest things I've read on this subject actually comes from the Quickstart in the StimulusReflex docs:
We are only alive for a short while and learning any new technology is a sacrifice of time spent with those you love, creating art or walking in the woods. ๐จโ๐จโ๐งโ๐ง๐จ๐ฒ
Every framework you learn is a lost opportunity to build something that could really matter to the world. Please choose responsibly. โณ
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!
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.

The joke here is that there are few things in tech less boring than StimulusReflex and CableReady.
Come on in, the water is warm!

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