A better Ruby + Datastar demo. A simple Rack app that simulates a long-running task and streams updates to the browser. It showcases patching HTML elements and driving web components from the server via signal updates. https://github.com/starfederation/datastar-ruby/blob/main/examples/progress/progress.ru

More #eventsourcing #ruby progress: this is using SQLite for the event store backend, and a "vibe-coded" 😳 Unix socket contraption for real-time pub/sub
