We're launching a complete Hotwire course! ⚡️ Turbo, Stimulus, and Hotwire Native are in a great spot with many patterns and approaches sorted out. We've teamed up with @_williamkennedy to cover as much as we can in one course. Link below👇
The epic gem Noticed by @excid3 provides a webhook delivery method but there is no built in method for logging the requests (correct me if I've missed it Chris!). I will show you how we implemented a custom delivery method so that we can log the request and response to show…
Heard @excid3 say my name on the Remote Ruby podcast and stopped spreading peanut butter on my toast to do a little fist pump. Putting that on my resume. remoteruby.com/2260490/episod…
✨ We just shipped vanilla JS support for Tailwind Plus! Every single UI block is now fully functional, interactive, and accessible, even if you're just grabbing the plain HTML examples.

On one hand, it's awesome to have OTA updates to improve things in your vehicle overnight. On the other hand, how many software bugs can rolling up and down windows have? 🤔
⚡️ We launched General ticket sale for the San Francisco Ruby Conference on November 19-20! Get yours at lu.ma/sfrubyconf2025 The full program is live on sfruby.com/speakers and it is 🔥exceptional🔥. Friends, help us share the message!
Love me some bigint but also love me some @excid3 prefixed_ids sprinkled on top.
I mean, v7 is probably fine and get's around some of the earlier limitations of UUID as primary keys....BUT I like me some bigint keys + a stripe style computed ID for use as user facing ID. Shout out to github.com/excid3/prefixe… for Rails apps by @excid3
so today I have to say this again use UUIDv7 for primary keys
FerrumPDF now adds custom renderers to Rails for a much cleaner integration. You now call "render" just like you would for JSON or HTML and out pops a PDF of the page. @GoRails lesson on this soon!
💎 Cut the 1.0 release for ferrum_pdf Browser creation is now thread safe and I think we're settled on the interface, so figured it was time for 1.0! github.com/excid3/ferrum_…
Added a new lesson to Learn Hotwire for using custom layouts without breaking Turbo Frames. 🎉 learnhotwire.com/sections/more-…
Ruby 3.4.5 is now precompiled for @hatchboxio users and I've updated @jumpstartrails as well. 🎉
Ruby 3.4.5 Released ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025/0… This is a routine update that includes bug fixes and GCC 15 support. We recommend upgrading your Ruby version at your earliest convenience.
Cut a new release of FerrumPDF after all the help from Hack Spaces @railsconf. We addressed all the issues and PRs and released it as v0.4! github.com/excid3/ferrum_…
The final #RailsConf was an amazing end of an era. Thank you to the entire team that made it happen!
Just got back home from #RailsConf - what a great conference. It was great to see familiar faces and meet up with old as well as new Ruby friends. I miss you all! Can't wait till we all get the chance to hang out again
Hope you all had a great final @railsconf! We loved hanging out with you all. 💖
