Is there a mostly complete sample Rails 7.0 app using Turbo that one can use to learn? I’m making good progress with building a great app using Turbo Frames but I fear that my implementation is ‘hacky’ and suboptimal. Looking for some best practices.

Thanks!

GoRails (YouTube) recommended this one in a video I just watched: [GitHub - thoughtbot/hotwire-example-template](https://github.com/thoughtbot/hotwire-example-template)

There are branches for each feature it covers, so dig through those.

I’m not sure how much it uses frames specifically, but [https://github.com/joemasilotti/railsdevs.com](https://github.com/joemasilotti/railsdevs.com) is a very modern open source app you can use as a reference.
