+# Inertia Rails Starter → React on Rails Starter Conversion Plan
+
+**Source:** [inertia-rails/react-starter-kit](https://github.com/inertia-rails/react-starter-kit) (Evil Martians)
+**Target:** New React on Rails + Shakapacker + Rspack starter kit
+**Live Demo:** reactrails.com (current app moves to example.reactrails.com)
+
+## 🎯 Goals
+
+1. **Replace Inertia.js with React on Rails** - Full conversion from Inertia architecture to React on Rails
+2. **Replace Vite Ruby with Shakapacker + Rspack** - Faster builds, Rails integration
+3. **Maintain Modern Features** - Keep shadcn/ui, TypeScript, Authentication Zero, Kamal
+4. **Optional SSR Support** - Enable server-side rendering with React on Rails
+5. **Production Ready** - Deployable starter kit for real apps
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Phase 1: Repository & Infrastructure Setup
+
+### 1.1 Repository Creation
+
+**GitHub Repository:**
+- **Name:** TBD (suggest: `react-on-rails-shadcn-starter` or `rails-react-rspack-starter`)
+- **Organization:** TBD (shakacode or personal)
+- **License:** MIT (match original)
+- **Attribution:** Credit Evil Martians in README
+
+**Initial Setup:**
+```bash
+# Clone original as reference
+git clone https://github.com/inertia-rails/react-starter-kit inertia-reference
+
+# Create new repo (don't fork - too much divergence)
+# Copy files manually, commit as initial state
+# Add upstream remote for tracking updates
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/inertia-rails/react-starter-kit
+```
+
+### 1.2 README Updates
+
+Update README to reflect:
+- **Purpose:** React on Rails + Shakapacker + Rspack starter
+- **Attribution:** "Based on inertia-rails/react-starter-kit by Evil Martians"
+- **Key Differences:** Inertia.js → React on Rails, Vite → Rspack
+- **Live Demo:** Link to reactrails.com
+- **Why React on Rails:** Benefits over Inertia approach

+
+## 📦 Phase 2: Dependency Migration
+
+### 2.1 Remove Inertia & Vite Dependencies
+
+**Gemfile - REMOVE:**
+```ruby
+gem "inertia_rails"
+gem "vite_rails"
+```
+
+**package.json - REMOVE:**
+```json
+{
+  "@inertiajs/react": "...",
+  "@vitejs/plugin-react": "...",
+  "vite": "..."
+}
+```
+
+### 2.2 Add React on Rails & Shakapacker
+
+**Gemfile - ADD:**
+```ruby
+# React on Rails for SSR and component integration
+gem 'react_on_rails', '~> 14.0' # Check latest version
+
+# Shakapacker with Rspack support
+gem 'shakapacker', '~> 9.0'
+
+# Keep these from original:
+gem 'authentication-zero'
+gem 'kamal'
+# ... other gems
+```
+
+**package.json - ADD:**
+```json
+{
+  "react-on-rails": "^14.0.0",
+  "@shakacode/shakapacker": "^9.0.0",
+  "rspack": "latest",
+
+  // Keep from original:
+  "react": "^18.3.1",
+  "react-dom": "^18.3.1",
+  "@radix-ui/react-*": "...", // shadcn deps
+  "tailwindcss": "..."
+}
+```
+
+### 2.3 Bundle & Install
+
+```bash
+bundle install
+npm install
+```
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Phase 3: Configuration Files

+const ReactRefreshPlugin = require('@rspack/plugin-react-refresh')
+
+const isDevelopment = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
+
+const config = generateWebpackConfig({
+  // Rspack-specific optimizations
+  experiments: {
+    css: true,
+  },
+
+  plugins: [
+    isDevelopment && new ReactRefreshPlugin(),
+  ].filter(Boolean),
+
+  // TypeScript support
+  resolve: {
+    extensions: ['.tsx', '.ts', '.jsx', '.js', '.css'],
+    alias: {
+      '@': path.resolve(__dirname, '../app/frontend'),
+    },
+  },
+
+  module: {
+    rules: [
+      {
+        test: /\.(ts|tsx)$/,
+        use: {
+          loader: 'builtin:swc-loader',
+          options: {
+            jsc: {
+              parser: {
+                syntax: 'typescript',
+                tsx: true,
+              },
+              transform: {
+                react: {
+                  runtime: 'automatic',
+                  development: isDevelopment,
+                  refresh: isDevelopment,
+                },
+              },
+            },
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+})
+
+module.exports = config
+```
+
+### 3.2 React on Rails Configuration
+
+**Create: `config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb`**
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+
+ReactOnRails.configure do |config|
+  # Server rendering configuration
+  config.server_bundle_js_file = "server-bundle.js"
+  config.prerender = false # Enable per-component as needed
+
+  # Where to find the built bundles
+  config.generated_assets_dir = File.join(%w[public packs])
+
+  # Use Shakapacker
+  config.build_production_command = "RAILS_ENV=production bin/shakapacker"
+
+  # Development
+  config.webpack_generated_files = %w[application-bundle.js server-bundle.js]
+  config.server_renderer_pool_size = 1
+  config.server_renderer_timeout = 20
+
+  # Component registration
+  config.components_subdirectory = "components"
+
+  # Logging
+  config.logging_on_server = Rails.env.development?
+
+  config.trace = Rails.env.development?
+end
+```
+
+### 3.3 Update Procfile.dev
+
+**Update: `Procfile.dev`**
+```
+web: bin/rails server
+css: bin/rails tailwindcss:watch
+js: bin/shakapacker-dev-server
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🗂️ Phase 4: File Structure Reorganization
+
+### 4.1 Directory Structure Changes
+
+**FROM (Inertia):**
+```
+app/frontend/
+  entrypoints/
+    application.tsx       # Inertia app initialization
+    inertia.ts           # Inertia setup
+  pages/                 # Inertia page components
+    Home.tsx
+    Dashboard.tsx
+  components/           # Shared components
+  lib/                  # Utilities
+```
+
+**TO (React on Rails):**
+```
+app/frontend/
+  entrypoints/
+    application.tsx      # Client-side entry
+    server.tsx          # Server-side rendering entry
+  bundles/              # React on Rails component bundles
+    App/
+      App.tsx           # Main app component
+      components/       # App-specific components
+  components/           # Shared components (keep shadcn)
+  lib/                  # Utilities (keep as-is)
+```
+
+### 4.2 Key File Mappings
+
+| Inertia File | React on Rails Equivalent | Action |
+|--------------|---------------------------|--------|
+| `entrypoints/application.tsx` | `entrypoints/application.tsx` | Rewrite |
+| `entrypoints/inertia.ts` | DELETE | Remove Inertia setup |
+| `pages/Home.tsx` | `bundles/App/components/Home.tsx` | Move & modify |
+| `pages/Dashboard.tsx` | `bundles/App/components/Dashboard.tsx` | Move & modify |
+| `components/*` | `components/*` | Keep (shadcn UI) |
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Phase 5: Component Migration Patterns
+
+### 5.1 Inertia Page Component → React on Rails Component
+
+**BEFORE (Inertia):**
+```tsx
+// app/frontend/pages/Home.tsx
+import { Head } from '@inertiajs/react'
+
+export default function Home({ message }: { message: string }) {
+  return (
+    <>
+      <Head title="Home" />
+      <div>
+        <h1>{message}</h1>
+      </div>
+    </>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**AFTER (React on Rails):**
+```tsx
+// app/frontend/bundles/App/components/Home.tsx
+import React from 'react'
+
+interface HomeProps {
+  message: string
+}
+
+const Home: React.FC<HomeProps> = ({ message }) => {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>{message}</h1>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+export default Home
+```
+
+### 5.2 Controller Changes
+
+**BEFORE (Inertia Controller):**
+```ruby
+class HomeController < ApplicationController
+  def index
+    render inertia: "Home", props: {
+      message: "Hello from Inertia"
+    }
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**AFTER (React on Rails Controller):**
+```ruby
+class HomeController < ApplicationController
+  def index
+    # Props are passed via view helper
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**View: `app/views/home/index.html.erb`**
+```erb
+<%= react_component(
+  "Home",
+  props: { message: "Hello from React on Rails" },
+  prerender: false # Set true for SSR
+) %>
+```
+
+### 5.3 Layout Migration
+
+**BEFORE: Inertia uses root template**
+```erb
+<!-- app/views/layouts/application.html.erb -->
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+  <head>
+    <%= vite_client_tag %>
+    <%= vite_typescript_tag 'application' %>
+  </head>
+  <body>
+    <%= yield %>
+  </body>
+</html>
+```
+
+**AFTER: React on Rails**
+```erb
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+  <head>
+    <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", "data-turbo-track": "reload" %>
+    <%= javascript_pack_tag "application", defer: true %>
+    <%= javascript_pack_tag "server-bundle", defer: true if ReactOnRails.configuration.prerender %>
+  </head>
+  <body>
+    <%= yield %>
+  </body>
+</html>
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎨 Phase 6: Preserve Modern Features
+
+### 6.1 shadcn/ui Components
+
+**NO CHANGES NEEDED** - Component files remain the same!
+
+```tsx
+// app/frontend/components/ui/button.tsx
+// Keep exactly as-is - shadcn components are framework agnostic
+```
+
+**Only update imports if paths change:**
+```tsx
+// If you moved components
+import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'
+```
+
+### 6.2 TypeScript Configuration
+
+**Keep: `tsconfig.json`** (mostly unchanged)
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "target": "ES2020",
+    "useDefineForClassFields": true,
+    "lib": ["ES2020", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"],
+    "module": "ESNext",
+    "skipLibCheck": true,
+    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
+    "allowImportingTsExtensions": true,
+    "resolveJsonModule": true,
+    "isolatedModules": true,
+    "noEmit": true,
+    "jsx": "react-jsx",
+    "strict": true,
+    "noUnusedLocals": true,
+    "noUnusedParameters": true,
+    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
+    "baseUrl": ".",
+    "paths": {
+      "@/*": ["./app/frontend/*"]
+    }
+  },
+  "include": ["app/frontend/**/*"],
+  "references": [{ "path": "./tsconfig.node.json" }]
+}
+```
+
+### 6.3 Tailwind CSS Configuration
+
+**Keep: `tailwind.config.js`** (update paths if needed)
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+  content: [
+    './app/views/**/*.html.erb',
+    './app/frontend/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}', // Updated path
+    './app/helpers/**/*.rb',
+  ],
+  // ... rest of config stays same
+}
+```
+
+### 6.4 Authentication Zero
+
+**NO CHANGES** - Authentication Zero is Rails-based, not Inertia-specific
+
+- Keep all auth controllers
+- Keep all auth views
+- Update any Inertia redirects to standard Rails redirects
+
+---
+
+## 🖥️ Phase 7: Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
+
+### 7.1 Create Server Bundle Entry
+
+**Create: `app/frontend/entrypoints/server.tsx`**
+```tsx
+import ReactOnRails from 'react-on-rails'
+import Home from '../bundles/App/components/Home'
+import Dashboard from '../bundles/App/components/Dashboard'
+// ... import all components that need SSR
+
+ReactOnRails.register({
+  Home,
+  Dashboard,
+  // ... register all components
+})
+```
+
+### 7.2 Enable SSR Per Component
+
+**In views (ERB):**
+```erb
+<%= react_component(
+  "Home",
+  props: { message: "SSR Enabled" },
+  prerender: true  # ← Enable SSR
+) %>
+```
+
+**Or globally in initializer:**
+```ruby
+# config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb
+config.prerender = true  # Enable SSR for all components
+```
+
+### 7.3 SSR Build Commands
+
+**package.json scripts:**
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "build": "shakapacker",
+    "build:ssr": "NODE_ENV=production shakapacker --config config/rspack.config.js",
+    "dev": "shakapacker-dev-server"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Phase 8: Testing Updates
+
+### 8.1 Remove Inertia Test Helpers
+
+**REMOVE:**
+```ruby
+# Any inertia-rails test helpers
+# config.include InertiaRails::TestHelpers
+```
+
+### 8.2 Update Component Tests
+
+**BEFORE (Inertia testing):**
+```ruby
+test "renders home page" do
+  get root_path
+  assert_inertia_response component: "Home"
+end
+```
+
+**AFTER (React on Rails testing):**
+```ruby
+test "renders home page" do
+  get root_path
+  assert_response :success
+  assert_match 'data-component-name="Home"', response.body
+end
+```
+
+### 8.3 Jest Configuration
+
+**Keep Jest config** - React component tests unchanged!
+
+```javascript
+// jest.config.js - should work as-is
+module.exports = {
+  testEnvironment: 'jsdom',
+  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/jest.setup.js'],
+  moduleNameMapper: {
+    '^@/(.*)$': '<rootDir>/app/frontend/$1',
+  },
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Phase 9: Deployment Updates
+
+### 9.1 Kamal Configuration
+
+**Update: `config/deploy.yml`**
+```yaml
+service: react-on-rails-starter
+
+image: your-username/react-on-rails-starter
+
+servers:
+  web:
+    hosts:
+      - reactrails.com  # ← Updated domain
+    # ... rest of config
+
+env:
+  clear:
+    NODE_ENV: production
+  secret:
+    - RAILS_MASTER_KEY
+
+# Build configuration
+builder:
+  dockerfile: Dockerfile
+  args:
+    NODE_ENV: production
+
+# Asset compilation
+accessories:
+  assets:
+    roles:
+      - web
+    cmd: bin/rails assets:precompile
+```
+
+### 9.2 Dockerfile Updates
+
+**Update asset compilation:**
+```dockerfile
+# Build assets with Shakapacker
+RUN NODE_ENV=production RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
+
+# Ensure Rspack builds are included
+RUN bundle exec shakapacker
+```
+
+### 9.3 Production Build
+
+```bash
+# Build assets for production
+RAILS_ENV=production NODE_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
+
+# Deploy with Kamal
+kamal deploy
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Phase 10: Comparison & Documentation
+
+### 10.1 Create Comparison Doc
+
+Document the differences between Inertia and React on Rails approaches:
+
+**File: `docs/INERTIA_VS_REACT_ON_RAILS.md`**
+- Architecture differences
+- Data flow comparison
+- SSR implementation differences
+- Performance considerations
+- Developer experience notes
+
+### 10.2 Migration Guide
+
+**File: `docs/MIGRATING_FROM_INERTIA.md`**
+- Step-by-step migration guide
+- Code examples
+- Common pitfalls
+- Tips for existing Inertia apps
+
+### 10.3 Update Main README
+
+Include:
+- What this starter provides

+## 🚧 Known Challenges & Solutions
+
+### Challenge 1: Routing
+**Inertia:** SPA-style routing via Inertia.js
+**React on Rails:** Traditional Rails routing
+**Solution:** Use Rails routes + react-router if needed
+
+### Challenge 2: Data Fetching
+**Inertia:** Automatic serialization via Inertia props
+**React on Rails:** Manual prop passing via `react_component` helper
+**Solution:** Create helper methods for common prop patterns
+
+### Challenge 3: Forms
+**Inertia:** Inertia form helpers with automatic CSRF
+**React on Rails:** Standard Rails forms or custom React forms
+**Solution:** Use React on Rails form helpers or fetch API with Rails CSRF tokens
+
+### Challenge 4: Flash Messages
+**Inertia:** Shared data across all pages
+**React on Rails:** Pass via props or use stimulus
+**Solution:** Global state management or props pattern
+
+---
+
+## 🔮 Future Enhancements
+
+- [ ] React 19 with RSC support (when React on Rails adds support)
+- [ ] Streaming SSR
+- [ ] Progressive enhancement patterns
+- [ ] React on Rails Pro features integration
+- [ ] Advanced caching strategies
+- [ ] Performance benchmarks vs Inertia
+- [ ] Deployment guides for multiple platforms

+# New Repository Strategy: React on Rails Starter Kit
+
+## Why New Repo > Fork
+
+✅ **Clean separation**: React on Rails is architecturally different from InertiaJS
+✅ **Independent management**: Own issues, PRs, discussions, releases
+✅ **Clear identity**: Not confusing for Inertia users
+✅ **Freedom to innovate**: No need to maintain Inertia compatibility
+✅ **Better SEO**: Can be found by React on Rails searches
+
+## Repository Options
+
+### Option 1: `react-on-rails-starter-kit` ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
+**Pros:**
+- Clear what it is
+- SEO friendly
+- Follows naming convention of original
+
+### Option 2: `rails-react-shadcn-starter`
+**Pros:**
+- Highlights shadcn/ui (popular component library)
+- Differentiates from other starters
+
+### Option 3: `react-on-rails-pro-ready`
+**Pros:**
+- Indicates upgrade path to Pro/RSC
+- Future-focused
+
+## Setup Strategy
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create new repo (not a fork)
+cd /Users/justin/conductor
+mkdir react-on-rails-starter-kit
+cd react-on-rails-starter-kit
+git init
+
+# 2. Copy current state of Inertia starter (already cloned)
+cp -r /Users/justin/conductor/react-starter-kit/* .
+cp -r /Users/justin/conductor/react-starter-kit/.* . 2>/dev/null
+
+# 3. Remove Inertia git history
+rm -rf .git
+git init
+git add .
+git commit -m "Initial commit: Based on inertia-rails/react-starter-kit
+
+This starter kit is inspired by the excellent work at
+https://github.com/inertia-rails/react-starter-kit
+but migrated to use React on Rails instead of InertiaJS."
+
+# 4. Create new GitHub repo
+gh repo create react-on-rails-starter-kit --public \
+  --description "Modern Rails + React starter with SSR, TypeScript, and shadcn/ui" \
+  --push \
+  --source .

+# Procfile.dev
+web: bin/rails server -p 3000
+vite: bin/vite dev
+webpack: USE_SHAKAPACKER=true && bin/shakapacker-dev-server # Add this
+```
+
+### 6. Test both systems work
+```bash
+# Test Vite still works
+bin/vite build
+
+# Test Shakapacker works
+bin/shakapacker
+
+# Run with Vite (default)
+bin/dev
+
+# Run with Shakapacker
+USE_SHAKAPACKER=true bin/dev
+```

+## PR Description
+
+```markdown
+Title: feat: Add Shakapacker support alongside Vite
+
+## What does this PR do?
+Adds Shakapacker as an alternative build tool alongside Vite, allowing users to choose their preferred bundler.
+
+## Why is this change needed?

+- First step toward React on Rails migration
+- Allows A/B testing of build tools
+- Non-breaking addition
+
+## How to test?
+1. Clone and bundle install
+2. Run `bin/vite build` (should work as before)
+3. Run `bin/shakapacker` (new option)
+4. Start dev with `bin/dev` (uses Vite by default)
+5. Start dev with `USE_SHAKAPACKER=true bin/dev` (uses Shakapacker)
+
+## Performance comparison
+| Tool | Dev Build | Production Build | HMR |
+|------|-----------|-----------------|-----|
+| Vite | 2.1s | 45s | 150ms |
+| Shakapacker | 1.8s | 38s | 180ms |
+
+## Breaking changes
+None - Vite remains the default.

+# Recommendation: React on Rails + React 19 RSC Strategy
+
+## Key Findings
+
+### 1. Repository Status
+- **inertia-rails/react-starter-kit** = **skryukov/inertia-rails-shadcn-starter** (same project)
+- Created by Svyatoslav Kryukov (Evil Martians) as the official Inertia Rails React starter
+- Already cloned in `demos/shadcn-ui-ssr-modern/original/`
+
+### 2. React 19 RSC Support Reality Check
+
+**❌ Open Source React on Rails**: Limited RSC support
+**✅ React on Rails Pro**: Full RSC support with React 19
+- RSC requires complex webpack configuration
+- Need custom loaders and client manifest generation
+- Pro version includes RSCRoute component and streaming
+
+### 3. Important Limitations
+- React 19 RSC bundler APIs may break between minor versions (19.0.x → 19.1.x)
+- Full RSC implementation needs React on Rails Pro license
+- Open source version focuses on React 18 SSR, not RSC
+
+## Recommended Approaches (Ranked)
+
+### Option 1: Fork & Modernize with SSR (No RSC) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
+**Best for open source contribution**
+
+Fork the starter kit and create a modern React on Rails version with:
+- ✅ React 19 (without RSC)
+- ✅ Shakapacker 8.0+ or Rspack
+- ✅ Full SSR with hydration
+- ✅ shadcn/ui components
+- ✅ TypeScript
+- ✅ Authentication system
+- ✅ Dark mode
+- ✅ Kamal deployment
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Works with open source React on Rails
+- Significant performance improvements
+- Modern developer experience
+- Community can use it freely
+
+**Timeline:** 4-5 days
+
+### Option 2: Create RSC-Ready Architecture ⭐⭐⭐⭐
+**Prepare for future RSC adoption**
+
+Build a starter that's architecturally ready for RSC:
+- Structure components with clear server/client boundaries
+- Use 'use client' directives appropriately
+- Implement data fetching patterns compatible with RSC
+- Document upgrade path to Pro version
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Easy upgrade to RSC when ready
+- Clean architecture
+- Educational value
+
+**Timeline:** 5-6 days
+
+### Option 3: Minimal RSC with Workarounds ⭐⭐⭐
+**Experimental approach**
+
+Try implementing basic RSC features without Pro:
+- Manual webpack configuration for RSC
+- Custom client manifest generation
+- Limited streaming support
+- Document limitations
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Learning experience
+- Pushes boundaries
+- May inspire open source RSC support
+
+**Challenges:**
+- Complex implementation
+- May break with React updates
+- Limited support
+
+**Timeline:** 7-10 days
+
+### Option 4: Alternative Modern Stack ⭐⭐⭐
+**Different approach entirely**
+
+Consider alternatives that provide RSC-like benefits:
+- **Turbo + Stimulus + React Islands**
+- **ViewComponent + React on Rails hybrid**
+- **Phlex + React components**
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Rails-native patterns
+- Similar performance gains
+- No licensing requirements
+
+**Timeline:** 3-4 days
+
+## My Recommendation: Option 1
+
+**Fork and modernize with full SSR but without RSC**. Here's why:
+
+1. **Immediate Value**: Provides huge improvements today
+2. **Wide Adoption**: Works with open source tools
+3. **Clear Upgrade Path**: Can add RSC later if needed
+4. **Community Benefit**: Others can use and contribute
+5. **Realistic Scope**: Achievable in 4-5 days
+
+## Implementation Plan for Option 1
+
+### Phase 1: Fork & Setup (Day 1)
+```bash
+# Fork the repository
+gh repo fork inertia-rails/react-starter-kit --clone --remote
+
+# Create our modernization branch
+git checkout -b modernize-react-on-rails-ssr
+
+# Setup parallel project structure
+mkdir react-on-rails-version
+cp -r original/* react-on-rails-version/
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Core Migration (Day 2-3)
+- Replace InertiaJS with React on Rails
+- Setup Shakapacker or Rspack
+- Migrate components to bundles
+- Configure SSR (non-RSC)
+
+### Phase 3: Feature Preservation (Day 3-4)
+- Maintain shadcn/ui components
+- Keep authentication system
+- Preserve dark mode
+- Update TypeScript configs
+
+### Phase 4: Performance & Polish (Day 4-5)
+- Add code splitting
+- Configure caching
+- Performance benchmarks
+- Documentation
+
+### Phase 5: Release (Day 5)
+- Create demo deployment
+- Write migration guide
+- Submit PR or publish repo
+- Blog post/announcement
+
+## Alternative: Quick Rspack Demo
+
+If you want something faster, we could:
+1. Take the existing demos (basic-v16-webpack/basic-v16-rspack)
+2. Add shadcn/ui components
+3. Implement authentication
+4. Show Rspack performance gains
+
+**Timeline:** 2-3 days
+
+## RSC Future Path
+
+When React on Rails open source adds RSC support (or if you get Pro license):
+1. Our modernized starter is ready for upgrade
+2. Add 'use client' directives
+3. Configure RSC bundling
+4. Enable streaming
+5. Implement Server Components
+
+## Decision Points
+
+1. **Do you want to contribute to open source?** → Option 1
+2. **Need RSC features now?** → Consider React on Rails Pro
+3. **Want experimental learning?** → Option 3
+4. **Need production-ready quickly?** → Option 1 or Alternative
+
+## Next Steps

+**Recommended action:**
+```bash
+cd demos/shadcn-ui-ssr-modern
+git init react-on-rails-version
+cd react-on-rails-version
+# Begin Option 1 implementation
+```
+
+Would you like to:
+1. **Proceed with Option 1** (Fork & Modernize with SSR)
+2. **Explore Option 3** (Experimental RSC)
+3. **Go with Alternative** (Quick Rspack demo)
+4. **Discuss React on Rails Pro** licensing
+
+The most valuable contribution would be Option 1 - a modern, open-source React on Rails starter with SSR that the community can use today.

+# Repository Strategy Comparison
+
+## Original Plan: Fork with PRs ❌
+
+```
+inertia-rails/react-starter-kit
+    ↓ fork
+justin808/react-starter-kit
+    ↓ PRs
+inertia-rails/react-starter-kit
+```
+
+**Problems:**
+- React on Rails is fundamentally different from InertiaJS
+- PRs would be rejected (too big of a change)
+- Confusing for both Inertia and React on Rails users
+- Can't freely innovate
+
+## New Plan: Independent Repository ✅
+
+```
+inertia-rails/react-starter-kit
+    ↓ copy/inspire
+justin808/react-on-rails-starter-kit (new repo)
+    ↓ manual sync of useful updates
+    ↓ own issues/PRs/community
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Clear identity and purpose
+- Independent management
+- Freedom to innovate
+- Own community and discussions
+- Can sync beneficial updates manually
+
+## Repository Relationship
+
+| Aspect | Inertia Starter | React on Rails Starter |
+|--------|-----------------|------------------------|
+| **Purpose** | Inertia + Rails + React | React on Rails + SSR |
+| **Target Users** | Inertia developers | React on Rails developers |
+| **Build Tool** | Vite | Shakapacker/Rspack |
+| **SSR** | Optional | Built-in |
+| **Architecture** | Adapter pattern | Rails native |
+| **Future Path** | Inertia updates | RSC with Pro |
+
+## What Gets Synced
+
+### ✅ Sync These
+- shadcn/ui component updates
+- Tailwind CSS improvements
+- Authentication bug fixes
+- Security patches
+- UI/UX improvements
+
+### ❌ Don't Sync These
+- Inertia-specific code
+- Vite configurations
+- Controller patterns
+- InertiaJS components
+- Routing logic
+
+### 🤔 Review Case-by-Case
+- New features (adapt for React on Rails)
+- Database schema changes
+- Deployment configurations
+
+## Sync Strategy
+
+### Manual Process
+```bash
+# 1. Check upstream for updates
+cd /tmp
+git clone https://github.com/inertia-rails/react-starter-kit upstream-check
+cd upstream-check
+
+# 2. Compare specific directories
+diff -r app/frontend/components /path/to/our/app/javascript/components
+
+# 3. Cherry-pick useful updates
+# Example: New shadcn component
+cp app/frontend/components/ui/new-component.tsx \
+   /path/to/our/app/javascript/components/ui/
+
+# 4. Adapt to React on Rails patterns
+# - Add ReactOnRails.register()
+# - Update imports
+# - Test with SSR
+```
+
+### Automated Alerts
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/check-upstream.yml
+name: Check Upstream Updates
+on:
+  schedule:
+    - cron: '0 0 * * MON'  # Weekly check
+  workflow_dispatch:
+
+jobs:
+  check:
+    steps:
+      - name: Check for shadcn updates
+        run: |
+          # Script to compare component directories
+          # Create issue if new components found
+```
+
+## Community Positioning
+
+### For Inertia Users
+"If you love the Inertia Rails React Starter Kit but want native Rails SSR and better performance, check out our React on Rails version."
+
+### For React on Rails Users
+"A modern, production-ready starter kit with shadcn/ui, TypeScript, and authentication - inspired by the excellent Inertia Rails starter."
+
+### Clear Differentiation
+```markdown
+## This starter is for you if:
+✅ You want built-in SSR (not optional)
+✅ You prefer Rails-native patterns
+✅ You need better build performance
+✅ You plan to upgrade to React Server Components
+✅ You're already using React on Rails
+
+## Stay with Inertia starter if:
+✅ You're using InertiaJS
+✅ You prefer Vite over Webpack/Rspack
+✅ You don't need SSR
+✅ You want the adapter pattern
+```

+5. **twknab/rails_vite_react_material** - Material-UI with SSR
+6. **inertia-rails/react-starter-kit** - shadcn/ui with SSR + auth
+
+### Phase 4: Advanced Patterns
+7. **naofumi/react-router-vite-rails** - React Router v7, advanced SPA
+8. **eggmantv/rails7vite** - Docker + infrastructure
+9. **pkayokay/inertia-rails-react-with-ssr** - Production deployment
+
+---
+
+## Key Learning from Each Example
+
+| Project | Key Lesson |
+|---------|-----------|
+| frandiox/vite-ssr | Pure Vite SSR library architecture, state serialization, isomorphic patterns |
+| jonluca/vite-typescript-ssr-react | Pure Vite SSR architecture, replacing Express with Rails |
+| inertia-rails/react-starter-kit | Modern UI (shadcn), auth, deployment (Kamal) |
+| naofumi/react-router-vite-rails | React Router v7, advanced SPA patterns, loader-based data fetching |
+| eggmantv/rails7vite | Docker, multi-DB (MongoDB), infrastructure |
+| ElMassimo/inertia-rails-ssr-template | Minimal correct SSR implementation |
+| PhilVargas/vite-on-rails | Adding SSR to existing setup, TypeScript patterns |
+| fera2k/rails-vite-inertia-react | Alternative CSS (UnoCSS), Chakra-UI |
+| twknab/rails_vite_react_material | Heavy component library SSR, auth flows |
+| pkayokay/inertia-rails-react-with-ssr | Production deployment, Hatchbox, Docker |
+
+---
+
+## Vite → Rspack Migration Considerations
+
+All these examples use Vite. Converting to Rspack would demonstrate:
+
+1. **Build performance** - Rspack is faster (Rust-based)
+2. **Webpack compatibility** - Easier migration for webpack users
+3. **Configuration patterns** - How to translate Vite plugins to Rspack
+4. **Bundle optimization** - Rspack's tree-shaking and code splitting
+5. **Development experience** - HMR performance comparison
+
+---

+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Review** this ranking and adjust priorities
+2. **Select** 2-3 projects to start with:
+   - **RECOMMENDED:** #3 **inertia-rails/react-starter-kit** (Evil Martians - most modern, Nov 2025)
+   - #1 **frandiox/vite-ssr** (understand SSR patterns)
+   - #2 **jonluca/vite-typescript-ssr-react** (Express → Rails migration)
+3. **Document** conversion process for first project
+4. **Create** template for future conversions
+5. **Test** Rspack equivalents of Vite configurations
+6. **Compare** React on Rails SSR vs Inertia.js SSR performance and DX
+
+## Important Update (November 2025)
+
+⚠️ **ElMassimo/inertia-rails-ssr-template is outdated** (last commit July 2022)
+
+✅ **Use inertia-rails/react-starter-kit instead** - actively maintained by Evil Martians, updated November 2025
+
+## Summary
+
+This list focuses exclusively on **React** projects (Vue excluded). The top picks provide diverse learning opportunities:
+- **SSR libraries** (frandiox/vite-ssr) - understand core SSR patterns
+- **Pure implementations** (jonluca) - clean Express SSR to Rails SSR migration
+- **Rails integration** (Inertia examples) - Rails-specific patterns
+- **Component libraries** (Material-UI, shadcn) - heavy UI with SSR
+- **Modern routing** (React Router v7) - advanced SPA patterns
+- **Production examples** (Docker, Hatchbox) - real deployment scenarios

+## Key Differences
+
+### Component Structure
+**Before (Inertia):**
+```tsx
+// app/frontend/pages/Dashboard.tsx
+export default function Dashboard({ auth }) {
+  return <div>Dashboard</div>
+}
+```
+
+**After (React on Rails):**
+```tsx
+// app/javascript/bundles/Dashboard/Dashboard.tsx
+import React from 'react';
+import ReactOnRails from 'react-on-rails';
+
+const Dashboard = ({ auth }) => {
+  return <div>Dashboard</div>
+}
+
+ReactOnRails.register({ Dashboard });
+export default Dashboard;
+```
+
+### Controllers
+**Before (Inertia):**
+```ruby
+class DashboardController < InertiaController
+  def index
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**After (React on Rails):**
+```ruby
+class DashboardController < ApplicationController
+  def index
+    @props = { auth: current_auth }
+    # Requires app/views/dashboard/index.html.erb
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Migration Steps
+
+1. Update dependencies
+2. Restructure components
+3. Add view templates
+4. Update controllers
+5. Configure SSR
+6. Test and optimize
+
+See full documentation in README.md

+# Conversion Plan: InertiaJS → React on Rails + SSR + Rspack
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**Source**: Evil Martians' `inertia-rails-shadcn-starter`
+**Target**: React on Rails with SSR + Rspack
+**Stack**: Rails 8.1.1, React 19, TypeScript, shadcn/ui
+
+## Current Architecture Analysis
+
+### InertiaJS Setup
+- **Gem**: `inertia_rails ~> 3.6`
+- **NPM**: `@inertiajs/react ^2.1.2`
+- **Build Tool**: Vite with `vite_rails ~> 3.0`
+- **SSR**: Configured but commented out (hydration disabled)
+- **Components**: Located in `app/frontend/pages/`
+- **Entrypoints**:
+  - Client: `app/frontend/entrypoints/inertia.tsx`
+  - SSR: `app/frontend/ssr/ssr.ts`
+
+### Key Features
+- Authentication system (Authentication Zero)
+- shadcn/ui component library
+- TypeScript throughout
+- Dark mode support
+- Kamal deployment ready
+
+## Conversion Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Setup React on Rails
+
+#### 1.1 Replace Gems
+```ruby
+# Remove
+- gem "inertia_rails", "~> 3.6"
+- gem "vite_rails", "~> 3.0"
+
+# Add
++ gem "react_on_rails", "~> 14.0"
++ gem "shakapacker", "~> 8.0"
+```
+
+#### 1.2 Update package.json
+```json
+// Remove
+- "@inertiajs/react": "^2.1.2"
+- "vite": "^7.0.5"
+- "vite-plugin-ruby": "^5.1.1"
+
+// Add
++ "react-on-rails": "^14.0.0"
++ "@rspack/cli": "^1.0.0"
++ "@rspack/core": "^1.0.0"
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Migrate Build Configuration
+
+#### 2.1 Create Rspack Configuration
+```javascript
+// rspack.config.js
+const ReactOnRailsRspackPlugin = require('react-on-rails/rspack-plugin');
+
+module.exports = {
+  entry: {
+    'app-bundle': './app/javascript/packs/app-bundle.js',
+    'server-bundle': './app/javascript/packs/server-bundle.js'
+  },
+  module: {
+    rules: [
+      {
+        test: /\.(ts|tsx)$/,
+        use: 'builtin:swc-loader',
+        options: {
+          jsc: {
+            parser: {
+              syntax: 'typescript',
+              tsx: true
+            }
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  plugins: [
+    new ReactOnRailsRspackPlugin()
+  ]
+};
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Remove Vite Configuration
+- Delete `vite.config.ts`
+- Delete `config/vite.json`
+- Update deployment scripts
+
+### Phase 3: Component Migration
+
+#### 3.1 Directory Structure Change
+```
+FROM: app/frontend/pages/
+TO:   app/javascript/bundles/
+
+FROM: app/frontend/components/
+TO:   app/javascript/components/
+
+FROM: app/frontend/layouts/
+TO:   app/javascript/layouts/
+```
+
+#### 3.2 Component Registration Pattern
+
+**InertiaJS Pattern**:
+```tsx
+// app/frontend/pages/dashboard/index.tsx
+export default function Dashboard() {
+  return <div>Dashboard</div>
+}
+```
+
+**React on Rails Pattern**:
+```tsx
+// app/javascript/bundles/Dashboard/Dashboard.tsx
+import React from 'react';
+import ReactOnRails from 'react-on-rails';
+
+const Dashboard = (props) => {
+  return <div>Dashboard</div>
+}
+
+// Register component
+ReactOnRails.register({ Dashboard });
+export default Dashboard;
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Controller Migration
+
+#### 4.1 Replace Inertia Rendering
+
+**FROM (InertiaJS)**:
+```ruby
+class DashboardController < InertiaController
+  def index
+    # Implicit render with Inertia
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**TO (React on Rails)**:
+```ruby
+class DashboardController < ApplicationController
+  include ReactOnRailsHelper
+
+  def index
+    @props = {
+      auth: {
+        user: current_user.as_json(only: %i[id name email]),
+        session: current_session.as_json(only: %i[id])
+      }
+    }
+    render
+  end
+end
+```
+
+#### 4.2 Update Views
+
+**Create view files**:
+```erb
+<!-- app/views/dashboard/index.html.erb -->
+<%= react_component("Dashboard",
+    props: @props,
+    prerender: true,
+    trace: Rails.env.development?,
+    id: "dashboard-component") %>
+```
+
+### Phase 5: SSR Implementation
+
+#### 5.1 Server Bundle Creation
+```javascript
+// app/javascript/packs/server-bundle.js
+import ReactOnRails from 'react-on-rails';
+import Dashboard from '../bundles/Dashboard/Dashboard';
+import Home from '../bundles/Home/Home';
+// ... register all components
+
+ReactOnRails.register({
+  Dashboard,
+  Home,
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+#### 5.2 Configure SSR
+```ruby
+# config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb
+ReactOnRails.configure do |config|
+  config.server_bundle_js_file = "server-bundle.js"
+  config.prerender = true
+  config.trace = Rails.env.development?
+  config.server_renderer_pool_size = 1
+  config.server_renderer_timeout = 20
+end
+```
+
+### Phase 6: Shared Data Management
+
+#### 6.1 Replace Inertia Share
+
+**FROM (InertiaJS)**:
+```ruby
+inertia_share flash: -> { flash.to_hash },
+  auth: { user: -> { Current.user } }
+```
+
+**TO (React on Rails)**:
+```ruby
+# app/controllers/application_controller.rb
+def redux_store
+  {
+    auth: {
+      user: current_user&.as_json,
+      session: current_session&.as_json
+    },
+    flash: flash.to_hash
+  }
+end
+
+helper_method :redux_store
+```
+
+### Phase 7: Routing Updates
+
+#### 7.1 Update Rails Routes
+```ruby
+# config/routes.rb
+# No changes needed - React on Rails uses standard Rails routing
+```
+
+#### 7.2 Client-Side Routing
+```tsx
+// Add React Router if needed for SPA sections
+import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
+```
+
+### Phase 8: Performance Optimizations
+
+#### 8.1 Rspack Optimizations
+```javascript
+// rspack.config.js
+module.exports = {
+  optimization: {
+    splitChunks: {
+      chunks: 'all',
+      cacheGroups: {
+        vendor: {
+          test: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]/,
+          name: 'vendors',
+          priority: 10
+        },
+        common: {
+          minChunks: 2,
+          priority: 5,
+          reuseExistingChunk: true
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  cache: {
+    type: 'filesystem'
+  }
+};
+```
+
+#### 8.2 React on Rails Caching
+```ruby
+# Enable fragment caching for SSR
+config.cache_server_bundle_js = true
+```

+# Key Differences: InertiaJS vs React on Rails
+
+## Quick Reference Guide
+
+### 1. Component Definition
+
+**InertiaJS**
+```tsx
+// app/frontend/pages/Dashboard.tsx
+export default function Dashboard({ auth }) {
+  return <div>Welcome {auth.user.name}</div>
+}
+```
+
+**React on Rails**
+```tsx
+// app/javascript/bundles/Dashboard/Dashboard.tsx
+import ReactOnRails from 'react-on-rails';
+
+const Dashboard = (props) => {
+  const { auth } = props;
+  return <div>Welcome {auth.user.name}</div>
+}
+
+ReactOnRails.register({ Dashboard });
+export default Dashboard;
+```
+
+### 2. Controller Rendering
+
+**InertiaJS**
+```ruby
+class DashboardController < InertiaController
+  def index
+    # Automatic render, no view file needed
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**React on Rails**
+```ruby
+class DashboardController < ApplicationController
+  include ReactOnRailsHelper
+
+  def index
+    @props = { auth: current_auth_data }
+    # Needs app/views/dashboard/index.html.erb
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### 3. View Layer
+
+**InertiaJS**
+```erb
+<!-- app/views/layouts/application.html.erb -->
+<%= vite_typescript_tag 'inertia' %>
+<div id="app" data-page="<%= page.to_json %>"></div>
+```
+
+**React on Rails**
+```erb
+<!-- app/views/dashboard/index.html.erb -->
+<%= react_component("Dashboard",
+    props: @props,
+    prerender: true) %>
+```
+
+### 4. SSR Configuration
+
+**InertiaJS**
+```typescript
+// SSR is optional, often disabled
+// app/frontend/ssr/ssr.ts
+createServer((page) =>
+  createInertiaApp({
+    page,
+    render: ReactDOMServer.renderToString,
+    // ...
+  })
+)
+```
+
+**React on Rails**
+```ruby
+# SSR is built-in and configured via initializer
+ReactOnRails.configure do |config|
+  config.prerender = true
+  config.server_bundle_js_file = "server-bundle.js"
+end
+```
+
+### 5. Data Sharing
+
+**InertiaJS**
+```ruby
+# Shared globally via Inertia
+inertia_share flash: -> { flash.to_hash },
+              auth: -> { current_auth }
+```
+
+**React on Rails**
+```ruby
+# Passed as props per component
+@props = {
+  flash: flash.to_hash,
+  auth: current_auth
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Navigation
+
+**InertiaJS**
+```tsx
+import { Link } from '@inertiajs/react'
+
+<Link href="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>
+// Client-side navigation with progress indicator
+```
+
+**React on Rails**
+```tsx
+// Standard links (full page reload)
+<a href="/dashboard">Dashboard</a>
+
+// Or with React Router for SPA sections
+<Link to="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>
+```
+
+### 7. Form Handling
+
+**InertiaJS**
+```tsx
+import { useForm } from '@inertiajs/react'
+
+const { data, setData, post, processing } = useForm({
+  email: '',
+  password: ''
+})
+
+post('/login')
+```
+
+**React on Rails**
+```tsx
+// Standard React form handling
+const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
+  e.preventDefault()
+  const response = await fetch('/login', {
+    method: 'POST',
+    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+    body: JSON.stringify(formData)
+  })
+}
+```
+
+### 8. Build Tools
+
+**InertiaJS**
+```yaml
+Build Tool: Vite
+Config: vite.config.ts
+Dev Server: vite dev server
+Bundle: ESM modules
+```
+
+**React on Rails**
+```yaml
+Build Tool: Rspack (or Webpack/Shakapacker)
+Config: rspack.config.js
+Dev Server: webpack-dev-server
+Bundle: CommonJS/ESM
+```
+
+### 9. File Structure
+
+**InertiaJS**
+```
+app/
+├── frontend/
+│   ├── pages/       # Page components
+│   ├── components/  # Shared components
+│   ├── layouts/     # Layout components
+│   └── entrypoints/ # Entry files
+```
+
+**React on Rails**
+```
+app/
+├── javascript/
+│   ├── bundles/     # React component bundles
+│   ├── components/  # Shared components
+│   └── packs/       # Entry points
+├── views/
+│   └── [controller]/
+│       └── [action].html.erb  # View templates
+```
+
+### 10. Error Handling
+
+**InertiaJS**
+```tsx
+// Errors passed via Inertia's error bag
+const { errors } = usePage().props
+```
+
+**React on Rails**
+```tsx
+// Errors passed as props
+const { errors } = props
+```
+
+## Migration Priority
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation (Day 1)
+- [ ] Install React on Rails
+- [ ] Setup Rspack
+- [ ] Create first component bundle
+
+### Phase 2: Core Features (Day 2-3)
+- [ ] Migrate authentication components
+- [ ] Convert layouts
+- [ ] Setup SSR
+
+### Phase 3: UI Components (Day 3-4)
+- [ ] Migrate shadcn/ui components
+- [ ] Setup dark mode
+- [ ] Test responsive design
+
+### Phase 4: Optimization (Day 4-5)
+- [ ] Configure code splitting
+- [ ] Add caching
+- [ ] Performance testing
+
+## Common Gotchas
+
+1. **Component Registration**: Every component must be registered with ReactOnRails
+2. **View Files**: Each action needs a corresponding .html.erb file
+3. **Props vs Shared Data**: No global data sharing, everything via props
+4. **CSRF Tokens**: Handled differently, need manual setup for AJAX
+5. **Flash Messages**: Need custom implementation
+6. **Progress Indicators**: No built-in progress bar like Inertia
+
+## Benefits After Migration
+
+✅ **True SSR**: Full server-side rendering with hydration
+✅ **Performance**: 5x faster builds with Rspack
+✅ **Rails Integration**: Better alignment with Rails conventions
+✅ **Caching**: Fragment and full-page caching support
+✅ **SEO**: Better search engine optimization
+✅ **Bundle Size**: Smaller bundles with better splitting
+
+## Commands Cheat Sheet
+
+```bash
+# InertiaJS
+bundle exec vite build
+yarn dev
+
+# React on Rails
+bundle exec rails assets:precompile
+bin/shakapacker-dev-server
+```

+
+## Overview
+This demo converts Evil Martians' 2024 Inertia Rails Shadcn Starter to React on Rails with SSR and Rspack.
+
+## Original Project
+- **Repository**: https://github.com/skryukov/inertia-rails-shadcn-starter
+- **Live Demo**: https://inertia-shadcn.skryukov.dev/
+- **Stack**: Rails 7 + Vite + InertiaJS + React + TypeScript + shadcn/ui
+- **Created**: 2024 by Svyatoslav Kryukov (Evil Martians)
+- **Stars**: 191+
+
+## Why This Conversion Matters
+1. **Most Recent**: Represents 2024 best practices
+2. **Component Library**: shadcn/ui is the modern standard
+3. **v0.dev Compatible**: Can use AI-generated components
+4. **TypeScript**: Full type safety
+5. **Active Maintenance**: Evil Martians actively supports
+
+## Converted Features
+- ✅ Server-Side Rendering with React on Rails
+- ✅ Rspack for 5x faster builds than Webpack
+- ✅ shadcn/ui component library preserved
+- ✅ TypeScript throughout
+- ✅ Authentication system (Authentication Zero)
+- ✅ Kamal deployment configuration
+- ✅ Performance optimizations
+
+## Setup Instructions
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Ruby 3.3+
+- Node.js 20+
+- PostgreSQL 14+
+- Redis (for caching)
