Creator and maintainer of Turbo Laravel, Stimulus Laravel, Rich Text Laravel, Importmap Laravel, TailwindCSS Laravel & Globalid Laravel. Programmer at Tighten.
Fizzy source code is amazing. All I expected from a Vanilla Rails app. Regular controllers, regular models. No fancy architecture. It uses import maps and vanilla CSS, so all we need to run it locally is Ruby. The app is very colorful and vibrant, view transitions make it feel so good. Hotwire FTW.

The source diving walkthrough bits on this one are lovely — one of the things I love about php & (non-uglified) js is being able to go to definition, figure about and gain a notion around extending things
New video is out! With Turbo.js, we can deliver Turbo Streams in 3 ways: adding to the DOM, returning a special document that only contains Turbo Stream tags with a custom MIME type, or broadcasting via WS/SSE. Let's see how we can add a 4th way: HTTP Streaming.

Tropical on Rails
Tropical on Rails - The Latin America Rails Conference was created by Frevo on Rails (Pernambuco Ruby User Group) in 2012. It hosted two regional editions in 2012 and 2013, and two international editions in 2014 and 2015. On April 4th and 5th of 2024, Tropical.rb returned, this time in São Paulo, for its 5th edition. We are a non-profit conference and the only international Rails event in Latam.
