It's easy to generate vast amounts of code with AI ("vibe coding"). The harder part is ensuring that code actually solves user problems. I share my process for validating AI-generated code against user needs, focusing on building what users truly want.
Key Features:
- No hydration, no client-side state stores
- Time-travel debugging via HTTP capture/replay
- Framework-agnostic (works with any backend)
How it works:
- HTML partials with embedded state flow from server to browser
- User interactions send typed actions to server (like Redux actions)
- Server runs reducers and returns updated HTML fragments
- Browser swaps DOM elements - instant updates, no re-rendering
Perfect for Admin dashboards, real-time status widgets, B2B applications, content management systems where server owns the data. Most business applications don't need React SPA complexity. This delivers responsive UIs with 10x less complexity.
