I'm very excited about StimulusReflex, and just plain Stimulus. This step-by-step tutorial made me realize how much time and energy could have been saved if I had just uses Stimulus haha.

That being said, this was a really good exercise for me to understand the in and outs of not only React, but also REST APIs.

Totally agree! I went through Mosh Hamedani's React course in Spring 2019, and I was intrigued but not excited because it seemed like a huge amount of extra work to accomplish things that are simple with Rails view templates. I know that there are times and reasons to use React and other SPAs, but I hope very much that Stimulus, StimulusReflex and CableReady reach a lot of devs who'd been sucked into believing that SPA-by-default is the only future.
