Lots of good things about the previous iteration, but it was a bit inflexible and we needed to play with using more copy and product visuals. I’d like to gradually get some of that personality worked back in though

Hmm we do run some email validation checks automatically, but it’s possible some are getting through (some of the checks are not super reliable, so we don’t rely on them aggressively). By don’t resolve, do you mean they bounce when you email them?

Feels like a sort of societal decay. A bit concerning.

Straight up Inertia + React

I've been flirting with it, but still get spooked by those who claim adverse long-term heath affects on various organs. (I don't remember the specifics of their claims, just that I've seen them) 😅

Strongly recommend it! Long-running branches that may diverge significantly from main are quite the momentum killer (stress, uncertainty, accumulating sense of inertia).

I generally use whatever package is en vogue for my backend framework (in Elixir land, there's a package called FunWithFlags I'm using which gives me a little UI for enabling/disabling them, and some functions for checking status wherever needed in code).

Oh…oh that’s good

That would be really cool! I should also clarify that Inertia.js is more of a "protocol" that lets you use React, Vue or Svelte for your view layer, married up beautifully with your Elixir/Rails/Laravel/etc backend.

It's fascinating to me how so much early education is focused on writing as an art form rather than writing as an optimized communication mechanism. I wonder if that's ideal...

Redesigning a core interface. Vacillating between “this is amazing!” and “ugh this is no good…” 😁

Yep! To me, it’s all about productivity risk. I don’t doubt most/all things could be doable, the question is how much time and effort will it cost?

It does feel like LiveView is getting closer to where I’d want it to be, with packages like fluxonui.com. To date, I’ve just not wanted to give up the wealth of mature tooling for all things frontend that React has to offer.

Inertia and Liveview are two different approaches (with Inertia, views are defined in React, Vue, or Svelte, and with Liveview they are defined in Elixir-based templates and components).

Yeah, the main consideration is performance (first contentful paint) when browser cache is cold, particularly for public booking pages.

It's been soo good. We started out with Turbolinks + a mix of React-driven pages & server-rendered HTML. A few years ago, we transitioned our cobbled-together Inertia-like setup to real Inertia.js 👌

Maybe! But yeah democratized fact checking seems pretty fundamentally good.
