Superform 0.6 launches with some big updates and a video tutorial

I've been working on Superform on and off for a few years now to build something better than Rails form helpers, including Formalistic and Simpleform (I think I did it 😅). This week I've been "on" and shipped a big update to Superform that dramatically improves the usability in Erb templates and adds official support for automatic strong parameters.

I wrote up an overview of the changes at https://beautifulruby.com/code/superform-0-6-x-released and made the "Why Superform?" video from the Phlex on Rails course free at https://beautifulruby.com/phlex/forms/introduction. The video tutorial is probably the best place to understand how Superform improves on Rails form helpers, including Simpler Form and Formtastic.

If you're coming in from 0.5, the release closes a bunch of issues and PRs and is compatible with Phlex 2.x. There's upgrade instructions at https://github.com/beautifulruby/superform/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#061---2025-08-28 and of course the source is at https://github.com/beautifulruby/superform

Have a look and please let me know what you think!
