After listening to about a dozen first-hand accounts, I’ve published what I know about the RubyGems takeover.

Hotwire Native is extremely future proof
The release of iOS 26 and its new design shows how future-proof Hotwire Native is. No code changes required to upgrade your app to the new look.

@marcoroth.dev I have some files for you on which Herb sometimes crashes (either segfaults, crashes with a bug (try to mark T_NONE object) or a full hang where I have to `kill -9` the process), are you interested in them? I think I can share them with you, but rather not publically on Github!

Wrote up a small article on something I've implemented in my Hotwire Native app that I think is useful for everyone!
This opens universal links directly in their own app, but still opens the rest in a modal.

Deep link into apps with Hotwire Native and universal links (iOS)

Postgres 17 has made some improvements that can speed up Rails apps a lot (see: benoittgt.github.io/blog/postgre... by @benoittgt.bsky.social).
But it's not available on Heroku yet!

Did you know you can bundle gems directly from a GitHub gist? I didn't, and I'm wondering if anyone ever uses that 🤔

Finally migrated my app off Webpacker and onto Vite!
Quite a rabbit hole, I had to migrate quite a few things:
* Bulma (css framework) from 0.x to 1.x. This required upgrading sassc to dartsass and removing some custom bulma components that are no longer working with 1.x.

It's amazing how fast bundler is nowadays. I remember it taking minutes on a not that large app. How much of that is improvement in hardware vs. improvements in bundler itself?
