Agree and would love Rails to take this further. Rails is still very useful - and is certainly used by countless startups along with React. CRUD plus a smart redux/mobx scaffold of some sort. Or auto graphql-ify.

The goal is still the same - get up and running with an idea as fast as possible while not being cornered - scaling with the product. The FE has simply become where most of the effort and innovation is now. Rails will benefit from helping on that side of the coin.


The concept expressed in the title matches a desire. Looking forward to checking out and hearing other's experiences.


I like the thumbnails - but I'd like them more if they were a toggle on/off or avail perhaps on hover - so we can also have the succinct list view that makes consuming and grokking more efficient.


I am always looking for the fastest way to build a complete app. Brought me to Rails. Then to Meteor/React (which was mixed). Then some Rails/React which is ok.

Vue looks really appealing on the simplicity and completeness side.

I would like to know from people using Vue what backends you're using. In order to complete the loop - the simplest stack overall Vue+???.


I've used Vue w/ Rails so far and it's been pretty good. The one real complaint is that I really wish is that I could use Vue components (.vue files) in a better integrated way with the Rails asset pipeline.

react-rails does this really well, making JSX transformation a drop-in gem, vs. having to set up some kind of front end task runner of sorts and constantly having to commit compiled files and such.

Beyond that, Vue has been amazing, and I really love it.


Thanks for the reply. Yea the rails asset pipeline integration seems an issue and Vue hot reload capability is also something I'd want workings seamlessly (not sure if that would be problematuc). Perhaps best to just use rails as API server. Then be able to create complete Vue front without struggling w integrations.


I'm thinking to rewrite my templates in vuejs then put a nodejs+vuejs SSR layer in front of my non-nodejs backend. I'm wondering how Laravel expects me to handle this situation.


I would say they're most likely not rewritten - in the sense that each new one gets to look at and improve upon the predecessors. So they're not starting from scratch and that is leading to better quality I think.


Great thread!

I created Post.As – a social platform for creating and sharing web pages. Drag and drop design with text/media/embedded players etc. "Instagram for web pages"

• Current version live at http://post.as: A very simple page creation tool - allows pushing pages out to feeds / following members.

•• The next version - simple page creation with ability to add powerful widgets for all kinds of social interaction. A social network like clay. Instead of content sitting inside of the social network's brand - every page on network is visually designed/owned by members. A kind of "subweb" vision with API for creation of widgets.

I am sole coder/designer (angularjs/rails). Looking to build team or find right collaboration.
