Building a syntax highlighting extension for VS Code
I spent a few days of my spare time building a VS Code extension that would bring better syntax highlighting for the Slim template language to the editor. I quite enjoyed most of the process so I’d like to share what I learned.

Rails 7.1 Released
I think they mean Server Side Rendering (normal rails controllers/views), and Slim is just the name of the templating engine. It's a little nicer than the default ERB. https://github.com/slim-template/slim
There's also SSR with react and other js frameworks, but I don't think that's what they meant.

How to build a website without frameworks and tons of libraries
I use something very similar on https://lunar.fyi and https://lowtechguys.com but I wouldn’t call this “simple” anymore.
They use Jinja templating, I prefer Slim (https://github.com/slim-template/slim#syntax-example) which has a more Pythonic syntax (there is plim [0] in Python for that)
I use Tailwind as well for terse styling and fast experimentation (allows me to write a darkMode-aware and responsive 100 line CSS in a single line with about 10 classes)
For interaction I can write CoffeeScript directly in the page [1] and have it compiled by plim.
I run a Caddy static server [2] and use Syncthing [3] to have every file save deployed instantly to my Hetzner server.
I use entr [4] and livereloadx [5] to rebuild the pages and do hot reload on file save. All the commands are managed in a simple Makefile [6]

You can already see how the footnotes take up a large chunk of this comment, this is not my idea of simple. Sure, the end result is readable static HTML and I never have to fight obscure React errors, but it’s a high effort setup for starters.
Simple for me would be: write markdown files for pages, a simple CSS for general styling (should be optional), click to deploy on my domain. Images should automatically be resized to multiple sizes and optimized, videos re-encoded for smaller filesize etc.
I have mostly implemented that for myself (https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/How%20I%20write%20this%20blog...) but it feels fragile. I’d rather pay for a professional solution.

Do Modern Programming Languages Have to Care About Line Length?
Checkout slim https://github.com/slim-template/slim it's a templating language

How to use View Transitions in Hotwire Turbo
The template renders the tag and inside it the link and the counter itself (the Slim template language and Tailwind styling are used here, hopefully the notation is sufficiently self-explaining):

Styling Simple Form forms with Tailwind
This config sets a ”medium“ font weight for our form labels by default. Now, suppose we want a specific input’s label to be bold instead, we might want to try the following naive approach (we’re using the Slim template notation here):
- Am I the only one who takes top priority in code neatness? Even if the code works, I HAVE to make it look neat. It absolutely must look neat in my mind. I cant really work peacefully if the code isnt neat. It just has to be neat. Does anyone else feel this way?

Form error in a rails view
Consider slim: "Slim - A Fast, Lightweight Template Engine for Ruby" http://slim-lang.com and simple_form "GitHub - heartcombo/simple_form: Forms made easy for Rails! It's tied to a simple DSL, with no opinion on markup." https://github.com/heartcombo/simple_form

Tailwind CSS class sorter – the custom way
There are quite a few good ones already but, as it turned out, we hit one blocker or another with each of them. Our biggest issue was that we use Slim in our project, a template format which most of the tools don’t support.

What It Took to Build a Rails Integration for Rodauth
The built-in view templates use Tilt's interpolated string engine, which avoids ERB dependency, but requires work to adapt for Rails. So, rodauth-rails' views generator imports already converted ERB view templates that use familiar Rails' form helpers.

How to use an Via tool for Rails
If you want people using Rails to use this, turn it into a gem, and use Tilt to make it an actual template language. Generating ERB and saving it to disk like that is a terrible plan for a Rails app. Good idea for a static site generator, like Jekyll, but absolutely a terrible idea for Rails.
