Inertia.js isn't a framework but it still seems like magic: the base is a 50-line client inspired by Turbolinks, and the rest is Rails. @skryukov.dev rebuilds it from scratch, one commit at a time. Read once and see exactly what you're betting your frontend on: evilmartians.com/chronicles/t...

The joy of Inertia Rails: painting your own with 50 happy little lines—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog

Inertia is Turbolinks with one twist: render JSON instead of HTML on the second visit. We rebuild the whole protocol on a real Rails app with a 50-line client and a 16-line server, then audit what the...

Rails Frontend Evolution: It Was a Setup All Along by Evil Martians

Remember when Rails dominated the frontend, then seemingly retreated to API-only mode? Plot twist: that wasn't Rails giving up—it was setting the stage for a triumphant return.

I love profiling code, it's genuinely fun. Used github.com/Shopify/heap... today and spotted a bottleneck in Typelizer. After fixing it, memory usage dropped by 150x and type generation is now 5x faster. Pure joy.

Tropical on Rails

Tropical on Rails - The Latin America Rails Conference was created by Frevo on Rails (Pernambuco Ruby User Group) in 2012. It hosted two regional editions in 2012 and 2013, and two international editions in 2014 and 2015. On April 4th and 5th of 2024, Tropical.rb returned, this time in São Paulo, for its 5th edition. We are a non-profit conference and the only international Rails event in Latam.

Part 1: How We Fell Out of Love with Next.js and Back in Love with Ruby on Rails & Inertia.js - Hardcover Blog

A look at how and why we migrated from Next.js to Ruby on Rails.

Excited to present "Rails Frontend Evolution: It Was a Setup All Along" at the final #RailsConf! From the Asset Pipeline to Hotwire and Inertia.js, explore how Rails' evolution set the stage for full-stack dominance. Let's discuss reinvention and the future of web development!

Inertia Rails is awesome, right? That's why we're creating a page to highlight community efforts, including videos, articles, demo applications, and open-source projects. Join us by sharing your work—or someone else's—we'd love to feature it! inertia-rails.dev/awesome

Hello! @tropicalonrails.bsky.social kicks off tomorrow in Sãn Paulo, Brazil! @inazarova.bsky.social will deliver the opening keynote remotely and @skryukov.dev will deliver his talk in person. Come say hello, olá, or just give a 👋!

Deployed a huge update for a client yesterday that re-writes their frontend to use Inertia + Rails. After working with Inertia the past couple of months, it's really been growing on me.

Yesterday we (mostly) moved all of Hardcover's front-end from Next.js hosted on Google Cloud Run to Ruby on Rails and Inertia.js. Aside from a some bumps and missed parts, it's been a smooth rollout! Some work to do on PageSpeed, but not bad so far.

🚀 Check out the alpha version of Inertia Rails Starter Kit! Based on Laravel React Starter Kit, it features: - Authentication using authentication-zero - Deployment with Kamal & Github Actions - Optional SSR support - Rails 8, Inertia 2, React 19, TypeScript, shadcn/ui

Using inertia-rails to use React instead of Hotwire in a new project. So easy to setup. I was overthinking it for so long. Oh, how I've you missed you 🥹

Last week, we received an intriguing feature request for Turbo Mount: using a React component to wrap a server-side rendered Rails form. How cool is that? Here's the solution: just a few lines of JS in a custom Turbo Mount plugin. Should we add this as a built-in plugin? What do you think?

We're 4 days into the Railsmas, where we propose developer productivity ideas for your holiday table daily: libyears, Vernier, Ruby LSP (and how to extend it with custom addons), and tricks against flaky tests. Do you like any? Suggest your own! evilmartians.com/chronicles/r...

On this third day of Railsmas: an overlooked treasure for those who think their IDE already has everything. Open your mind, read, and see if you might just think twice about Ruby-LSP as a sign of productivity miracles yet to come. evilmartians.com/chronicles/r...

Do I know any CTOs or technical founders who would be up for exchanging pairing sessions with me? No money involved — an hour on your thing, an hour on my thing. You get to consult with an experienced full-stack developer. I get to consult with an experienced business person running a real product.

@nickyt.online recently introduced me to Inertia JS We’re exploring using it in a Rails 8 project (hosted on MSFT wtf) Is anyone using Rails + Inertia + Vite in production these days? Endorsements or horror stories?

Friends, we are publishing the new #Rails frontend story–for every small team that dreams big! The key to productivity is to use the full toolkit: Hotwire only, Hotwire with mounted React/Vue/Svelte components, and SPA with Inertia.js–while keeping it the Rails way.

Believe me: Rails ❤️ React, Vue, or even Svelte! It's cruel to use Rails as an API and React as the front-end. Let me save your time and just follow these steps: – bundle add inertia_rails – bin/rails generate inertia:install Want to know more? There you go... inertia-rails.dev

I’ve spent the last month rewriting a Next.js app to use Rails, Inertia.js and React and it’s been amazing so far. Our backend was already Rails, but Inertia.js was the missing piece to make Rails work with React for me. Anyone else building anything with Inertia.js?

Let’s build a starter pack of everyone that is building with #inertiajs! Would love to get both #Laravel and #Rails folks as well. Comment here if you’d like to be added and let’s build this community 😃

An interesting feature of Kamal is the ability to pass any `docker run` attribute using the `options` key. You can use `--network-alias` to assign stable names to roles, allowing you to call them from the application: https://github.com/skryukov/inertia_rails_svelte5_ssr/blob/main/config/deploy.yml

Rails 8 provides an exceptional developer experience from start to finish. I'm committed to ensuring that Inertia Rails meets the same high standard.
