Instant view switches with Inertia v3 prefetching original

Apr 13th 2026 by Freek Van der Herten – 3 minute read

Over the past few months we've been building There There at Spatie, a support tool shaped by the two decades we've spent running our own customer support. The goal is simple: the helpdesk we always wished we had.

We care about using AI in a particular way. It should help support agents write better replies, not substitute for them. The human stays in charge of the conversation, and the model does the unglamorous work of drafting, rephrasing, and suggesting links. There There is in private beta right now, and you can apply for early access at there-there.app.

We're building There There with Laravel and Inertia, and we lean heavily on the latest features Inertia v3 brings. This post is about another one: prefetching on hover.

How we use Inertia v3 optimistic updates in There There original

Apr 13th 2026 by Freek Van der Herten – 4 minute read

A few months ago we started building There There, a helpdesk we're making at Spatie. The premise is simple. After two decades of running customer support for our open source work and our SaaS apps, we wanted the tool we always wished existed.

One thing we care about in particular is using AI to help humans craft better responses, not to replace them. The agent stays in charge of the conversation. The model just helps them reply faster and a little sharper. There There is in private beta right now, and you can apply for early access at there-there.app.

We're building There There with Laravel and Inertia, and we lean heavily on the latest features Inertia v3 brings. In this post I'd like to give one example: optimistic updates.

Introducing Interia.js

Mar 19th 2019 – reinink.ca

Jonathan Reinink is creating a library that'll make it easy to create server-driven single-page apps. Super cool idea!

I wanted to blend the best parts of classic server-side apps (routing, controllers, and ORM database access) with the best parts of single-page apps (JavaScript rendering and no full page reloads). Or, at least the best parts as I see them. ?

That journey has led me to a pretty interesting new pattern, which this article explains in detail. In short, I've created a Turbolinks inspired library that makes it super easy to create server-driven single-page apps. I am calling this library Inertia.js.
