Heard about InertiaJS, really an interesting and innovative concept. I'm busy building an "old school" app as well, using jQuery in the frontend, and I wonder if for "release 2" I should switch the architecture to get a bit more of an "app-y" feel. Thought about Turbolinks with StimulusJS, but also about going 'all the way' with API +SPA (but then using GatsbyJS to build the frontend). InertiaJS seems an interesting third alternative.

Yeah I looked into Turbolinks too, but the hesitation I had with it was I have a lot of JavaScript libraries that would conflict with Turbolinks. But, since I'm just building a Vue SPA on the front-end, it's pure JavaScript and it works great!

You're right, Turbolinks works great if you do everything "the Turbolinks way" but that means you can't just drop in any 3rd party lib and expect it to work. InertiaJS sounds really magical, it's a genius concept.
