What is Hotwire?
Less JavaScript, simpler web apps
Hotwire is an alternative approach to building modern web applications without using much JavaScript by sending HTML instead of JSON over the wire.
This makes for fast first-load pages, keeps template rendering on the server, and allows for a simpler, more productive development experience without sacrificing any of the speed or responsiveness associated with a traditional single-page application.

A popular alternative to React
Hotwire offers a more agile and streamlined development experience compared to traditional React setups. With Hotwire, you benefit from a monolith stack, significantly simplifying development and reducing the mental load on your team. This approach is developer-friendly, promoting easier maintenance and faster iterations.
