Dashboards can be a source of poor performance and contain much complexity in our applications. Using Hotwire, we can increase the responsiveness of our dashboard with a maintainable approach.

Using Hotwire we'll create a comment and voting system from scratch without any javascript. With the help of Turbo, we enable real-time updates and broadcasts of comments and votes.

In this episode, we explore some of the new features with Turbo and interactions that we can do with little or no javascript.

Using StimulusJS and Turbo, we are able to dynamically update select input with content based on another select input. This allows for a seamless user experience while having a configurable and maintainable backend.

In this episode, we create a chat application using Rails 7, esbuild (JS Bundling), CSS Bundling, Hotwire, and Action Text. We also dive into some issues around CSS Bundling and Action Text.
