Yeah, there is quite a bit of overlap!

This. We started using it with Rails and it’s been great.

I do like scrappy rails views that can be assembled fast - but the React views our FE dev is putting on top of existing rails controllers have a much better UX.

I am a huge fan of Inertia. I always felt limited by Blade but drained by the complexity of SPAs. Inertia makes using React/Vue feel as simple as old-school Laravel app. Long live the monolith.
