" summary

A working digital character sheet is built in Rails using Turbo instead of React, with live demo showing form handling, Turbo Frames and Turbo Streams powering interactivity and server-driven updates. The claim is concrete: a playable, stateful sheet that saves, rolls, and updates without client-side JS frameworks. The talk shows repository layout, controller/actions, partials and deployment notes so the build actually runs and the approach replaces a typical React stack.
