What Are Invokers? Interactivity Without JavaScript - Scott Tolinski published a new video on the Syntax FM YouTube channel, in which he talks about the new-ish Invoker Commands API in HTML and JavaScript.

From ERB to JavaScript - Server Computes, Hydration Joins, Templates Filter - Sam Ruby shares the final architecture of an offline-first Rails app built using ERB templates plus a light Stimulus/JavaScript layer. The server computes normalized data, the client "hydrates" it using cached state when offline, and templates remain the single source of truth.
