💎 Importmap: The Unsung Hero

Ditched the JavaScript bundler complexity for Rails' native approach. HTTP/2 multiplexing + importmap = faster load times and cleaner dependency management.

No more yarn/npm drama. Just clean, efficient module loading.

🚀 First game-changer: Parallel Queries

We slashed dashboard load times by 47% using Rails 8's concurrent query execution. Instead of waiting for sequential DB calls, we're now running everything in parallel.

Here's a before/after comparison of our dashboard load times:
Before: 2.3s
After: 1.2s
