Hotwire: The Demo

Hotwire is an alternative approach to building modern web applications without using much JavaScript by sending HTML instead of JSON over the wire.
This makes for fast first-load pages, keeps template rendering on the server, and allows for a simpler, more productive development experience in any programming language, without sacrificing any of the speed or responsiveness associated with a traditional single-page application.

Woooops! just like in the old days

[@techpeace]

Well, this definitely takes me back. Congrats to you and the team on the launch!

[@tschundeee]

Thx for bringing us great new tech again!

[@ukazap]

--skip-javascript I was like: WHOAA

Haha

Thanks for the demo and the product ! :)

[@aben7810]

the guy made me doubt the video speed. This presention doesn't help Sir. you get to slow a bit.

[@FranckMercado]

This is very cool!

[@randito2387]

gotta love DHH. still rocking Textmate and Safari.

[@venkatareddy56]

That was firefox, not safari.

[@dlvl86]

So good!

[@KevinSheppard]

Nice demo, but it would be nice to have a more generalized version of this for people who don't use Rails... Unless, this was meant to be Rails exclusive?

[@dimitardimitrov3421]

Excellent tech! I’m a big fan of @dhh and the rails team! Can you go a bit more in depth and perhaps slow down the pace a bit? I’m a novice rails Dev and it was very hard to follow.

@@magne6049 I think this is not what he meant. Usually more explanations and clarifying are in order.

Could someone please tell me why the "Destroy" link in the room's index page does not work, it redirects to rooms#show instead of rooms#destroy.

[@whyimustusemyrealname3801]

because the default scaffold need javascript to works and you generate the project --without-javascripts

too fast. having a hard time understanding. :/ the demo is for yourself? :)

[@sylvereleipertz955]

What about power consumption ? Doesn't websocket use more power than regular HTTP requests ? I'm asking this question cause in 2020, we can't afford to think without considering power consumption.

[@sylvereleipertz955]

@Saša Šijak perfectly serious

[@rdepaulabarbosa]

one websocket connection streaming everything vs multiples HTTP connections/state managment/etc for every request :P

[@mattstopa9436]

I HATE THIS! I Hate this so much... MOstly because I just wrote an entire app in React and this is like 20x easier... I think after moving to Node this makes so much more sense. Don't get rid of Ruby, get rid of JS

[@GakisStylianos]

How did I end up here, I'm just a mobile developer, this makes no sense to me 😅

[@prabhakarbhat2477]

Add in turbo-ios and turbo-android, and you have your app ready!

Excuse me ROR devs, this idea originally from Laravel Livewire by Caleb Porzio not @dhh

*that so wrong they working in that from 2005 check @dhh comments in twitter lol*

Interesting, I have not used LiveWire but I'm aware that it has been out for a while. Caleb has been preaching similar things in the past. Namely sending html over the wire rather than JSON, but the question is are they using something similar to turbolinks frame? If I remember correctly too, LiveWire was a response to LiveView from the elixir community or at least inspired by it. Okay what's so special here is that. This is Basecamp, a well known and respected company, this is a company that people look up to. Just to make an example the lastest product from the company, Hey.com made a huge splash everywhere earned itself as one of the 100 greatest innovations of 2020 and took the spot as 15 best productivity apps of 2020. When a company like Basecamp are betting on tools like this or this "unique way" of developing apps, it's huge deal! Yeah I can't emphasize this enough it's big deal.

the it doesn't matter much even if its already created before the big bang
