After listening to about a dozen first-hand accounts, I’ve published what I know about the RubyGems takeover.

Hotwire Native is extremely future proof and the release of iOS 26 shows why → paagman.dev/hotwire-nati...

Tired of 'No route matches [GET] "/.well-known/appspecific/com.chrome.devtools.json"'? No more with this middleware 👉 paagman.dev/handling-chr...

@marcoroth.dev I have some files for you on which Herb sometimes crashes (either segfaults, crashes with a bug (try to mark T_NONE object) or a full hang where I have to `kill -9` the process), are you interested in them? I think I can share them with you, but rather not publically on Github!

Wrote up a small article on something I've implemented in my Hotwire Native app that I think is useful for everyone! This opens universal links directly in their own app, but still opens the rest in a modal. paagman.dev/deep-link-ho...

I’m available for hire. I’m an experienced Ruby, TypeScript and CSS engineer looking for a new full-time position. I can help you with performance, concurrency, testing, architecture and API design problems on tooling or product teams. I’d really appreciate any personal introductions. DMs open. 🙏

Postgres 17 has made some improvements that can speed up Rails apps a lot (see: benoittgt.github.io/blog/postgre... by @benoittgt.bsky.social). But it's not available on Heroku yet!

I wrote up another small post about Hotwire Native! How to make 'delete' menu items stand out in the menu component. Hopefully it's useful for someone as I really like them this way 🙂 paagman.dev/make-delete-...

I wrote up a little post about how to get native sharing working with Hotwire Native → paagman.dev/hotwire-nati...

Did you know you can bundle gems directly from a GitHub gist? I didn't, and I'm wondering if anyone ever uses that 🤔 bundler.io/v2.5/man/gem...

Finally migrated my app off Webpacker and onto Vite! Quite a rabbit hole, I had to migrate quite a few things: * Bulma (css framework) from 0.x to 1.x. This required upgrading sassc to dartsass and removing some custom bulma components that are no longer working with 1.x.

It's amazing how fast bundler is nowadays. I remember it taking minutes on a not that large app. How much of that is improvement in hardware vs. improvements in bundler itself?
