Realtime Apps with Hotwire & ActionMailbox
summary
Builds a customer‑support app that wires Hotwire Turbo streams to ActionMailbox so posts broadcast over websockets appear instantly. Uses Turbo Streams and model broadcast_to for append/replace, ActionText plus ActiveStorage for rich bodies and images, and ActionMailbox mailboxes that parse raw MIME, upload attachments as blobs and perform inline CID replacement. Saves and reuses message-id capture for threading, sends mail via a background job with deliver_now to record IDs, and notes the example org URL bug that requires default_url_options.
