How improved pattern matching and rightward assignment make it possible to “destructure” hashes and arrays in Ruby 3.
Use classic Rails to build rich React Redux applications with NO APIs and NO client-side routing.
Interesting project. I enjoy React for UI, but once you start needing server side data I find it hard to continue. Probably not for me, but in a pinch…
I listened to Outlived and need to go back and read the book to pull out some more details.
In the meantime, I have moved on to Kelly (and Juliet) Starrett’s latest: “Built to Move” which has me sitting on the floor reading book and writing this post.
Component driven development on Rails with Phlex · Fly
Building applications entirely from UI components can be a great way to manage complexity in non-trivial application views…
Great list of various Programming Playgrounds.
This is more of a note for my future self: If you need to use Markdoc you place them in the public folder.
Iconify makes it easy to avoid vendor lock-in. You can use many open source icon sets with a large choice of open source icon components. Thousands of high quality icons from 100+ icon sets, all validated, cleaned up, optimised and always up to date.
Corporate platforms always fail, given enough time. The Twitter API had a good run. Now the deck is clear, and there’s room to make some new stuff…
