I’ve used turbolinks on a few backend driven projects, but mostly with rails, and hotwire replaced that nicely enough. I really only used it because from the users perspective it’s hard to tell that you’re not using a SPA.

I really like the idea of systems like Phoenix’s LiveView as well, but I ask a lot of questions before I implement something like that. The majority of projects I’ve ever worked on didn’t really need that much interactivity and I strongly prefer the “sprinkle on JS when you actually need it” approach to web apps.
