Realtime, reactive web apps without Javascript using Stimulus Reflex

by

Thought you guys would be interested in this.

Stimulus Reflex lets you build realtime, reactive apps in Rails similar to Phoenix LiveView. You don't have to write any Javascript and it will use Rails to render all the HTML updates server-side. It uses ActionCable to trigger updates and then tells Rails to render the current page again and send that back over the websocket. It'll then use DOM diffing to update the page automatically for you.

Definitely one of the coolest projects going on right now in the Rails world I'd say. It looks like we might see some similar things in Turbolinks 6 when that comes out too which is exciting.
