“LiveView proves server-rendered real-time UI is viable. For CRUD apps with real-time needs, it eliminates the SPA.”
“Giving away code completion to win IDE market share with Windsurf is a smart long-term play.”
“Server-rendered real-time UI is the sleeper approach. LiveView, HTMX, and similar tools challenge SPA dominance.”
