Introduction

Very basic trello clone. See here

Makes use of new turbo morphing feature.

The hardest part so far is trying to not refresh the editor open on a second browser. This demo project from 37 signals shows the problem if you have two browsers open and in browser one you have some text in Add Task input box but have not saved, adding a task in browser two will cause refresh and loss of data from the input box.

So far the best I have come up with is that when adding/editing tasks and lists a modal will pop up, it has data-turbo-permanent: "" so will not get refreshed by the broadcast refresh. The modal is closed when the form is submitted by checking the turbo:submit-end event I need to check for success and also redirection as the way I have implemented modals means this event fires when a new event occurs. I think overall this gives a better user experience, retaining the broadcast refreshes but not losing work on the browser that is refreshed.
