You’ve presented a workaround and a hack tbh, not something natively supported because the workflow doesn’t map to liveview model, which is fine but you have to be honest with yourself and acknowledge when stuff like that happens, otherwise you’re in for lots of fun down the line.

> For any new project, in the majority of cases I would pick Elixir with Phoenix LiveView instead of Elixir/Phoenix (backend) with React/Vue (frontend).

This could just be recency bias. New tech is always exciting, old tech is always linked to memories of all the issues you’ve had in the past.

I wouldn't say it's a hack, but I would agree it's not the standard way to do things in the LiveView world, exactly because latency it's an overstated or misunderstood issue. But if you want to do more, LiveView gives you the tools.

I still maintain some React/Vue apps and work with on a daily basis, so it's not a distant memory.

I like choosing the right tool for the right job. For example, I would still choose ReactNative over 2 different code bases for a mobile app for a small team that needs to move fast. For the 5% of cases when that wouldn't do you would need to go native. I see the situation similarly with LiveView. It's hard to beat its productivity & power in 95% of use cases.
