Discussion on: A StimulusReflex Sandbox on Glitch

I'm trying to create a SproutVideo app with a usable user interface, but I'm a big fan of glitch, so I was afraid I could not develop using Ruby on Rails (SproutVideo's API uses Rails). When I found your StimulusReflex app, I was pretty excited. I've remixed it and set it up in Glitch. Now I'm slowly setting up the SproutVideo API on top of your app, troubleshooting. I noticed, even before I started importing SproutVideo, that the StimulusReflex sandbox opens up VERY slowly. On this page, it's immediate. Is that normal? If needed, I can walk through the steps you outline on this page for setting up the sandbox.

That might be related to the fact that this runs a boosted glitch app, i.e. I pay for it…?

That’s exactly what I was thinking, but I’m hesitant to pay before knowing if boosting will solve the problem. I think I will give it a try.

Right now I’m testing out part of the code on my local dev environment using just Node.js with React. Apparently, though, my Node.js is not set up the same as it is in Glitch – getting errors that don’t show up in Glitch.

Gotcha. To be fair, it’s not that much $ to give it a go for a month.

I agree. I just got burned recently with "buy before you try", but it's a new year and time to get over it :=)
