Re: Strada – Create fully native controls, driven by your web app
#2We've been doing a similar pattern already, because we have our web app iframed and communicating with outlook (via Office.JS) and gmail (via InboxSDK.JS) in order to read changes to the To: field and insert contents into the compose page based on that:
* stimulus encapsulates the javascript logic that "bridges" to Outlook and Gmail, including initializing the To: field listener * stimulus actions can trigger the "bridge" as well
It's worked out very well - though I really hate dealing with native stuff in general - especially compatibility nightmares with older versions of Outlook. Probably less of a problem with iOS/Android.

#4Something like Strada is the final piece for me to give Rails a real shot. I've been running with Django + htmx recently. I'm having to do backend-for-frontend and write redundant JSON APIs for mobile. And of course I lose the SSR in those cases.

#6It's honestly just sad how complicated the engineering is to make a modern CRUD app that works on the various platforms users expect and behaves normally. It doesn't seem tenable long-term to have to build your app three or four times, or use weird glue projects like this. This seems like a decent solution, to be sure, but still.
