about this and I completely agree it's the right approach and honestly what they've done just seems more like a rebrand and I think it is a rebrand for the better because having Turbo Native and Strada as separate things it was just a little bit confusing and they've just unified those under this Hotwire Native umbrella now so it's one thing like both the native kind of worlds are just one thing

And the documentation is a lot better, which I believe Joe helped out with. And the other thing was, I think Joe also built a library called Turbo Navigator, which is a lot of the native navigation stuff on iOS you have to build on your own. But on Android, it's kind of part of the platform. So Joe had built this library called Turbo Navigator

which kind of brought the same ergonomics to iOS as well, which now I believe is part of Hotwire Native. That does simplify life on iOS as well. So yeah, it's all just very good stuff. Stuff I'll personally remain quite blissfully ignorant of, though, because I've had enough of Native in my life. I don't want any more.

PWAs, I hope, it just needs better marketing, I think. And it also needs the big tech companies to kind of come on board with it, which is the harder part. What I would really like to see is the ability to put a button on a website that says install to home screen and you tap it and it just does it.

Because like now, the best solution you can have is you can have that button and you can have instructions on what to do, which is usually like click a share button and then add to home screen or whatever. You can't automate that. There is no API to do that. But you can see why Apple and Android don't want to do that.

Yeah, something to do with green paper.

Oh, yeah. Rails is just not the fashionable thing anymore. I've been asked before. I've only come to Rails in 2020. I was a mobile developer before that. I've been asked, did I find Rails to be some kind of niche framework? or something that was in the past when I got into it. And I'm like, no, I never thought that for one second.

I always thought of it as a mature, solid piece of technology that just wasn't fashionable anymore. And I'm fairly cynical enough to not give a shit about the fashion aspect of tech. Like, I mean, you have Angular, you have React, these things just go and come in waves and I'm like, just let me write HTML and CSS like, and, and Ruby on the backend. That's the generates HTML and CSS.
