Macuject is an Australian digital health startup helping prevent blindness by supporting eye care professionals in achieving the best possible outcomes for their patients with diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Our presentation will give an overview of the eye's structure, straightforward steps to ensure the health of your eyes, AMD, its treatment, and how our software helps make individualised decisions. It is sure to be a real eye-opener!

After that, we’ll switch lenses to discuss our technology stack, primarily focusing on our Majestic Monolith powered by Rails 7! As a MedTech startup, the experience doctors have when interacting with our app can have a considerable impact. Over the past year, we've improved that experience dramatically through using Hotwire. We’ll share how our small team is gradually replacing our React frontend with Hotwire while rapidly building eye-popping new features.

With Turbo Frames, Turbo Streams, and Stimulus, Hotwire lets us rethink when to use JavaScript and allows us to use just the amount we need, where we need it. It allows us the flexibility we want, with all the functionality we need, in a Rails-friendly paradigm that's a delight to work with.

What do you call a Deer with no eyes? We have no Eye-Deer, but we look forward to seeing you at our talk!
