Finally found some time to try the Phoenix/Inertia/React combo, and I can honestly say it feels much better than LiveView to me. Heavy emphasis on "to me". I don't hate JavaScript. So to be able to use the fantastic Elixir ergonomics, with React, is a big win.

Did you find any tradeoffs?

With codesplit and treeshaking done I have no complains anymore. I was afraid of the bundle size initially, but now it's fine. I never really liked liveview so I can't give a proper comparison. Ultimately I think the codebase is simpler and more flexible. Happy to share specifics.

So far I'm using liveview but component organization is my biggest issue... But with inertia you lose all the websocket communication and stream functionality, right?

interesting, how would stream work with inertia? Isn't it a liveview feature? hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live...
