Dear followers,

welcome to a late follow-up to what's new in my surroundings!

New Hotwire Club Challenges

In January, I've written a new challenge that extends the "Swiper with view transitions" example by a new feature - autoplay:

It's a nifty example of how you can spice up your marketing page with an autoplaying slider using just vanilla Turbo frames and minimal amounts of additional Javascript - as compared to including a whole library in your bundle.

Upcoming Hotwire Club Videos

As promised, I'm busy assembling content to be recorded as video walkthroughs. This time, we'll be actually using Rails (I know 😅) and the first two videos are going to be the most popular ones according to my site analytics as well as the Google search console:

Stimulus Action Parameters (see this challenge from a year ago: https://hotwire.club/blog/2024-01-16-stimulus-action-parameters / )
Optimistic UI using Turbo 8 Morphs (see this challenge: https://hotwire.club/blog/2024-03-26-optimistic-ui-with-turbo-8-morphs / )

Writing

I've written a blog post on how to improve pagination performance using the pagy gem and Rails' asynchrous capabilities:

And that was it for January! I hope to make some progress regarding the video walkthroughs soon and will keep you posted!
