Hotwire Native Rails is now Tailwind 4 compatible! 🎉🥳

Biggest change - how you define custom variants in V3 vs V4

This let's you to apply classes like

<div class="hotwire-native:bg-black non-hotwire-native:bg-white">

Time to upgrade to Tailwind 4! ✨

✅ Troubleshoot & run upgrade tool
✅ Fix tailwind:watch
✅ Fix aspect ratio, dialogs, opacity, etc
🥳 remote tailwind.config.js

@bradbury @lazaronixon my two go-to username-password auth solutions these days are devise (if I don't plan to override a lot) and authentication-zero (If I want something very tailored).
Rails 8 authentication is far from being production-ready

🤐Youtube and Vimeo have public, unrestricted endpoint that lets you get any video attributes (title, author, thumbnail, embed_html, etc)

It is super useful if you want to allow users embed rich media into your app.

These VS Code plugins make the development experience for me and everybody on my team much better

Busy weekend! Just upgraded my longest-running Rails app (started on Rails 4) from Rails 7.2 to Rails 8.

And published v1100 of the app to production! 🥳

Super smooth upgrade.

Only small inconvenience that I had to dig into - manually add "net-protocol" for "net-smtp"

Usually running "rails app:update" creates a lot of conflicts in my ENV files.

Exploring the @bullettrainco codebase, I found this line in each ENV initializer.

As of now, I set my configs at the end of the file, instead of overriding defaults. Easier to upgrade & see changes

Does anybody here use Typesense in production?

In the life of a man, there comes a moment when he needs to scale his search

Not handling petabytes of data? No need for Elasticsearch

Typesense is powerful, open-source, easy to sync with Rails & deploy

Here's how I add full-text typo-tolerant search server to Rails

How to abstract, store, edit global app settings?

I think gem rails-settings cached is great:

✅ one tiny db table

✅ admin UI

✅ define fields, validations, defaults

✅ you can use it before Rails is initialized

See how I use it:

Literally the easiest way to add hotkeys to your app with StimulusJS

In the previous episode I talked about creating an internal app that would use ONLY @avo_hq
Let's try adding AVO as an admin backend to an existing Rails app https://superails.com/posts/add-avo-to-existing-app

Can we make it to 10,000 subscribers before 2025? 🎄🎅🎁

User.rb
validates :email, presence: true
⬇️
For most users, Github oAuth does not share user email by default.
⬇️
User creation via Github oAuth will often fail, if you don't explicitly require user email in oAuth settings

No matter how good you are, rolling out your own subscription engine from zero does not make sense.

Don't reinvent the wheel.

I've just replaced my own subscription engine with gem "pay". It's really good, and more maintainable long-term.

Final touch - running background jobs to sync subscriptions from Stripe to tables in my app! 💅

If you want to build an Internal tool or Admin dashboard in Ruby on Rails, there is no better tool than Avo.

I add Avo to all my apps and it just works for admin stuff 🙌

Here's how you can get started building an internal, invite-only app:
