Frequently Asked Questions about Hotwire SaaS Boilerplates

What is Hotwire?

Hotwire is a set of techniques (Turbo and Stimulus) for building reactive web apps by sending HTML over the wire instead of JSON. It gives you SPA-like interactivity without a heavy JavaScript frontend, and it's the default in modern Rails.

Is Hotwire good for a SaaS?

Yes, especially for solo founders and small teams. Hotwire lets you build interactive SaaS UIs with far less JavaScript and no separate API, dramatically reducing complexity and time to ship.

Do I need React with Hotwire?

No — that's the point. Hotwire replaces the need for a client-side framework for most interactions. You can still drop in a Stimulus controller or small JS component for the rare cases that need it.
