Re:Moving my serverless project to Ruby on Rails

Why bother? I work on a very UI-heavy interactive app (it's a gantt chart) for work and therefore have been doing react daily for 1.5 years. React is probably making life a little easier here, and I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. If I didn't love my team so much I would be looking for a job working on a more classic web app in Rails. And when I profess my appreciation for Rails, I could just as easily be talking about Django, Phoenix, or any other _opinionated_ backend framework. [edited for spelling]

I know some Rails shops that are switching to Stimulus Reflex for some UI-heavy things, it works like Phoenix LiveViews, you can briefly see how CodeFund uses it for their interfaces here (40 seconds in): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5hA79vKE_E&feature=youtu.be...

I'm aware of Stimulus Reflex though never tried it out! :) I've been playing with LiveView a lot recently which is fantastic. I would love to switch to stimulus but we're pretty heavily bought into React at this point.
