Exploring Rails 7, Hotwire and AnyCable speedy streams

Video 📼

Let us introduce AnyCasts—a screencast series on real-time web applications development. Rails and AnyCable, Hotwire and Stimulus Reflex, Ruby and other languages—there is plenty of stuff to talk about!

Our very first episode is dedicated to the recent Rails 7 release. And New Year 🎅

In this episode, we're going to build a new Rails 7 application from scratch—a very first prototype of what could become a Discord-like multi-channel chat. We will see how the new --css=tailwind option makes generated templates look cool, give Turbo Frames and Streams a try, and, finally, configure AnyCable with its brand new JWT authentication and speedy streams features.
