Keyboard seems reliable. The keys are softer than those of an old Macbook, but have slightly more travel and resistance than those of a magic keyboard. The clickity clackity feel is satisfying. Haven't thought of or used the touchpad m

Snappier UI and more stability. Has what I need for web dev. Starbucks wifi did not work out the box but summoning the correct incantation was easy enough. Never completely migrated over (music, photos, keychain) because of laziness. Miss u

You will also have to require Turbolinks in your JavaScript manifest (application.js). See "Installation using Ruby on Rails" in the docs.

To anyone wondering why they should care about Stimulus, I offer this TLDR, straight from DHH himself: "Above all, it’s a toolkit for small teams who want to compete on fidelity and reach with much larger teams using more laborious, ma

Reminds me too of AngularJS. Rails has dramatically changed how it handles front-end, but it would be tough to compete without doing so.

Damn, they're actually a lot alike. The differences I see are subtle - Stimulus seems simpler in practice, scopes controllers, state stored in document, uses native APIs, etc. but there's definite overlap.

Yup - love using it for static sites!

I believe Abramov was the first to say, “You might not need Redux.” What prompted that?

I'm far from an authority to officially say, but this is what I gathered from listening to the podcast: Stimulus essentially structures DOM manipulation. Whereas other frameworks aim to solve rendering, it seems Stimulus will offer a l

As a Turbolinks fan, I couldn't be more excited about Stimulus. Sounds like it completes the front-end development story with Rails-like simplicity minus requiring that you know Ruby and Rails. I started off as a FE dev working on most

No worries! Unfortunately, the decision was made long before my arrival, so I'm not entirely sure - but I asked about that too during my interview. My CEO reviewed a few SAAS including Salesforce but none of them made sense for how he

I work remotely for WorkBeast, a staffing company. We're not tech-driven or a startup, but we're bootstrapped and profitable. My workdays are spent on our custom internal CRM (Rails + AngularJS). I respond directly to the CEO, and

It allows you to do partial updates, but indeed it doesn’t support view transitions out of the box. :/ That said, the native wrappers offer built-in transitions, and you could probably hack web transitions with some modding and a compo

Turbolinks evolved from Pjax (4 yrs old) and is part of Ruby on Rails (11 yrs old). Not only does it respect back/reload out of the box, but it also supports native. Its as mature as it is supported as it is powerful. It really just wo
