HTML Over The Wire

Hotwire is an alternative approach to building modern web
applications without using much JavaScript by sending HTML instead of
JSON over the wire. This makes for fast first-load pages, keeps
template rendering on the server, and allows for a simpler, more
productive development experience in any programming language,
without sacrificing any of the speed or responsiveness associated
with a traditional single-page application.

You can follow the HTML-over-the-wire approach as merely inspiration
for your own tooling, or you can use these Hotwire designed
frameworks created by the team at 37signals to power HEY. They work
together, complementing each other to give you a complete solution
across all platforms:

Turbo [turbo]

The heart of Hotwire is Turbo. A set of complementary techniques for
speeding up page changes and form submissions, dividing complex pages
into components, and stream partial page updates over WebSocket. All
without writing any JavaScript at all. And designed from the start to
integrate perfectly with native hybrid applications for iOS and
Android.

Stimulus [stimulus]

While Turbo usually takes care of at least 80% of the interactivity
that traditionally would have required JavaScript, there are still
cases where a dash of custom code is required. Stimulus makes this
easy with a HTML-centric approach to state and wiring.

Strada [strada]

Standardizes the way that web and native parts of a mobile hybrid
application talk to each other via HTML bridge attributes. This makes
it easy to progressively level-up web interactions with native
replacements.
