Coming tomorrow: my most in-depth article yet. 2,000+ words on handling Hotwire Native authentication across web, iOS, & Android. All without writing tons of native code or adding new API endpoints. Launches tomorrow to paid subscribers. Full code, too. open.substack.com/pub/joemasil...

Ever run into this issue in your Hotwire Native app? It kinda kills the "native" vibe when the web view peeks through the native bars. Lucky for us, the fix is two lines of code! masilotti.com/hotwire-nati...

I woke up this morning to 600+ emails to be screened in and a notification from my bank that I was locked out of my account. Not entirely sure what's going on yet. But it doesn't seem good.

Honestly, not too far off!

I'm beyond excited to announce that you can now buy my book, Hotwire Native for Rails Developers, currently in beta on The Pragmatic Bookshelf. 🥳 pragprog.com/titles/jmnat...

Big announcement coming this week. Perhaps the most important one of my career so far. 🤫

And now… the fun begins. Where's my red pen!

Hotwire Native 1.1 is here! This release simplifies configuration, resolves bugs, and introduces new features, making it easier to build web-first native apps with Rails. Here's a full breakdown, along with how to fix any breaking changes in your apps. masilotti.com/hotwire-nati...

December's newsletter goes out tomorrow! And it includes a subscriber-exclusive announcement - add your email to hear about it first: masilotti.com/newsletter

Since my domain is masilotti.com it made my handle here @masilotti. Which made me realize that folks might not be able to find me if they know me from other platforms! So I registered joemasilotti.com and set up a wildcard redirect to masilotti.com. Now I'm @joemasilotti everywhere!

Hotwire Native iOS v1.0.1 is here! This release fixes an issue where switching between native tabs would cause a full page load. It also exposes a new way to reload the web view directly from the Navigator, which is especially helpful after signing in or out. github.com/hotwired/hot...

Isn't caffeine great? I can just pretend to ignore that I only got 5 hours of sleep last night! 😬

See this little button component - the dynamic text or image in the upper right? Guess how many lines of code for iOS. Then guess how many for Android. 😅

I've been struggling with what to post since coming back from parental leave. And working on my book means I'm doing less "real" Hotwire Native dev work day-to-day. So, I'd love to know what you want to learn about! Reply with a Hotwire Native topic you want to see me cover.

Jumpstart Pro iOS just got a huge update! 🚀 • Hotwire Native support • 6,000+ lines of code lighter • Simplified architecture • Cookie-based authentication • 5 new bridge components And the best part? It's $50 off today for @excid3.com's Black Friday deal. jumpstartrails.com

Does bin/rails db:reset not work with SQLite? It seems like it only runs db:drop then db:create then… stops? The migrations and seeds are never run.

Hey everyone, I'm Joe Masilotti, the Hotwire Native guy! I help Rails developers build web-powered iOS and Android apps with Hotwire Native. And I'm currently writing a book on Hotwire Native for Rails developers - no Swift or Kotlin experience necessary. masilotti.com/hotwire-nati...
