tomevault-io User Experience & Feedback
Implement cross-cutting feedback and perceived-performance patterns in Hotwire.
Core Workflow
- Identify feedback need: loading, submit activity, progress reporting, optimistic updates, or transitions.
- Prefer built-in Turbo semantics first (
busy, progress bar hooks, submit/render lifecycle events). - Add optimistic updates only with a clear reconciliation strategy.
- Keep transition logic bounded to explicit lifecycle events and cache/preview-safe paths.
- Verify UX behavior on slow network, back/forward cache restores, and submission failures.
Guardrails
- Do not use fixed timeouts as a proxy for network or render completion.
- Gate animations/transitions for previews and cache restores.
- Keep submit locking/unlocking symmetric between start and end events.
- Separate UX feedback logic from domain-specific form/media/navigation implementations.
