Even the second edition of my book is not going to have any native stuff. I'm going to remove it all in favor of PWAs. So web push is something that I need to explore. I know you can do it now in Rails, but Action Notifier would just make it easier.

Yeah, it is a very easy-to-use interface. I did take a lot of inspiration from it whenever I've built notifications in apps. I've not reached for that library myself necessarily, again, just because I don't really like reaching for dependencies. I prefer building stuff myself because, I don't know, I'm just wired that way. But it is a very solid library, and I look to it for inspiration.

True. It's, it's kind of like, just the way rails goes, right, eventually stuff ends up in the platform. And then like, because you had carrier wave and paperclip for a number of years, and then active stories became a thing. And then everyone had to migrate. Yeah, it's just the way it goes. But I think I'm more looking forward to Rails 8.1 than 8, really.

Because, yeah, while I was, I think I honestly should put something in a swear jar every time I mention my book on this podcast. That's a great book, by the way.

Rails are not by Codex.com. Go buy it now. But I had a second edition planned for everything new, and that's going to be a paid upgrade. But looking at everything that's come out, I think I might actually wait for Rails 8.1, because then I can cover Active Record Search and Action Notifier, which are key parts of any web application.

And since I'm kind of standardizing around PWAs, it makes sense to wait for Action Notifier, because I don't want to build my own system, which is, I know, going to be outdated very soon.

Yeah, the Rails 8 way, I saw that.

Yeah, I mean, you know that book's going to be solid. It's going to be good. Quite a lot of good stuff coming down the pipeline. What are your feelings on Kamal? Have you used it? Do you have any opinions on it?

Fair enough. That's a good way to go about it. I've kind of just been watching from afar as well with Kamal, largely because it's Docker-based, and I I don't understand Docker well enough to not be afraid of it as yet. So yeah, it's probably just one of those things I need to look at at some point.

But my one frustration with Docker and even Kamal in general is that it adds this additional moving part of a Docker registry. If all I've got is a very simple indie app that runs on one box, I don't want to have to deal with the additional complexity of pushing to a Docker registry and then my server pulling from there. It's just me working on it just by myself, running it on one box.
