Retinas on Rails! - Eye spy with my little eye Macuject
summary
Macuject claims measurable impact: clinics see injection intervals stretch from the standard four weeks to 6–10 weeks for many patients and some users have endured over 100 injections in one eye. The product is a Rails 7 Majestic Monolith gradually replacing React with ERB + Hotwire (Turbo Frames, Turbo Streams, Stimulus), deployed in Australian clinics and entering US trials, using turbo stream broadcasts for a real‑time waiting room and a tiny team that ships incremental replacements and user‑tested features.
