    (Note that Rum is also a React wrapper, but you don't have to use that part of it; you can simply use it for static rendering of HTML.)

  • Common Beginner Mistakes with React
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Mar 2023
    I love React as long as it has a thin skim of clojurescript over top. Rum is the underdog compared to reagent but is still my weapon of choice - https://github.com/tonsky/rum

    Was disillusioned when I had to dive into a pure js project using it.

    The real benefit, I think, is that you get the well established Clojure idioms around isolating and managing mutable state.

    State is stored in a Atom, which is atomically mutated, and reactive components essentially 'subscribe' to updates upon that atom to re render.

    The mutations can be handled centrally by a message queue, but really, event sourcing like that is not always needed.

  • Giving new life to existing Om legacy SPAs with re-om
    6 projects | dev.to | 4 Nov 2022
    We've been using re-om during the last 6 months and it has really made our lives much easier. Before open-sourcing it, we decided to extract from re-om the code that was independent of any view technology. This code is now part of reffectory and it might be used as the base for creating frameworks similar to re-om for other view technologies, like for example rum, or even for pure Clojure projects.

    I've had an in-browser animated meme editor in the freezer for a few years now:

    https://www.ultime.me/

    The idea came when I wanted to make a simple animated meme, but found it exceedingly frustrating to caption a simple animated gif with nice text options (like outlines). Over time, it's grown to have full keyframe animation for all text and image/video clip attributes, so it is actually pretty capable short of using a desktop video editing/fx package.

    That said, the UX is bad and I should feel bad :) . I made the deliberate choice up front to focus on the underlying data model and internal APIs rather than polishing the UI - as such, it is very much an engineer interface. It would be more usable with some demo videos or call-to-action helpers for new users, but really the UX just needs reworked. Especially around animation/keyframing.

    On the bright side, the clean data model and content addressable assets leave the path clear to add things like collaborative multi-user meme editing, git like meme-forking(and diffing?), and so forth.

    Started it about 3 years ago when I had a period of mostly free time to play. It's been idle for a long time due to starting a family and getting consulting momentum, but I'm intending to make the time this year to polish the UX to the point of general usability and experiment with promotion/monetization. Failing that, I'll probably just open source it and write a couple of blog posts about the internals.

    It is more or less a static web app, with no server side function short of some optional stats collection. It's written in Clojurescript/Clojure and uses https://github.com/tonsky/rum as a React wrapper and

    On the backend, we'll need a few tools. Apart from the classics (ActiveRecord scopes and the pg_search gem), you’ll see how the (yet officially unreleased but production-tested) all_futures gem, built by SR authors, will act as an ideal ephemeral object to temporarily store our filter params and host our search logic. Finally, we’ll use pagy for pagination duties.

  • Tips for optimizing pg_search?
    2 projects | /r/rails | 14 Apr 2021
    Hey guys. Looking to release an app for mobile that will be using a rails API. The app will heavily rely on search. I know the go-to is to use elasticsearch but wanted to see if there was enough user demand for the MVP before shelling out $50/mo for the heroku add on. In the mean time I've been using pg_search. From the eye test it's performing okay but will be adding a table that houses over 350K records. With this in mind I was wondering if you all had any tips for increasing the overall speed for search from the model and controller level. Also should note that I'm open to any other free search gems if they deem bette fit.

    There are two basic search configurations with pg_search, a Single Model search scope or a multi Model configuration. In my case I am only using the Single Model configuration, but you can read more about multi-search in the documentation.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing rum and pg_search you can also consider the following projects:

ransack - Object-based searching.

Elasticsearch Rails - Elasticsearch integrations for ActiveModel/Record and Ruby on Rails

textacular - Textacular exposes full text search capabilities from PostgreSQL, and allows you to declare full text indexes. Textacular will extend ActiveRecord with named_scope methods making searching easy and fun!

elasticsearch-ruby - Ruby integrations for Elasticsearch

Searchkick - Intelligent search made easy

MeiliSearch - A lightning-fast search API that fits effortlessly into your apps, websites, and workflow

zombodb - Making Postgres and Elasticsearch work together like it's 2023

Thinking Sphinx - Sphinx/Manticore plugin for ActiveRecord/Rails

Sunspot - Solr-powered search for Ruby objects

pgsync - Sync data from one Postgres database to another

SearchCop - Search engine like fulltext query support for ActiveRecord

has_scope - Map incoming controller parameters to named scopes in your resources
