The BEST way to build Infinite Scroll using Hotwire

@benoit @nirvdrum I usually don’t add much more than the base framework and tailwind, but yeah with gatsby, trying to use less plugins helps, even though the plug-in ecosystem was one of the selling points 😒
Next.js is a wee bit better, but if you’re integrating with CMSes for instance, you’ve more work up front to do for a bit less future pain. Honestly middleman/Bridgetown seem like better options for me.
@nirvdrum yeah I’ve a few gatsby/next.js sites I maintain. When you are just starting out they are lovely, but coming back to them after a 12mo/24mo hiatus is usually a nightmare. They are 4 major versions ahead and absolutely everything has changed.
If you head to rapidruby.com and fire your email in, you’ll get an update when it goes live. I’m considering releasing videos on the official site a week earlier than YouTube.
@stevediaconou even better, I’ve already recorded it and it’s queued to go out later this month :)
@stevediaconou thanks! Awesome, would love to hear what you think of it!
@meesterfox I think so 🤞
