This project seems really interesting, I guess it could pretty much replace SPAs (and related javascript fatigue) in a lot of use cases. Am I missing some significant limitation other than moving some computation back to the servers?

I'm not qualified to answer that, as I haven't used Drab, but you can ask on the proper topic at the elixir forum: https://elixirforum.com/t/drab-phoenix-library-for-server-si...

The only real limitation I can see for now is a response time for the actions, which might be done locally, without requesting anything from the server. Eg, you don't want to do animation loop with Drab, for this just use the ol' good JS.

Holy @#$% that's amazing.

May I cite you in the testimonials? :)

Haha, go right ahead! :)

Boy, am I glad I read the HN comments today. Never knew Drab existed. It’s fantastic!
