Jeff 84ad60d541 fix(ai-chat): disable submit on empty input instead of surfacing 'Content missing' (#1697) (#1872)
* fix(ai-chat): disable submit on empty input instead of surfacing 'Content missing' (#1697)

Empty-input clicks on the chat send button posted the form, which then
failed Message's `validates :content, presence: true` and surfaced
`Content missing` to the user. The right shape per ChatGPT / Claude
UX is to prevent the submission entirely until the input contains
non-whitespace content.

Add a `submit` target on the icon button and have the existing chat
Stimulus controller:

- Initialise the button to `disabled` when no `message_hint` is set.
- Toggle disabled on every input event (re-using the existing
  `autoResize` handler) based on `input.value.trim().length > 0`.
- Pre-clear disabled when a sample question is injected.
- Short-circuit the Enter-key submit path on empty content so keyboard
  users hit the same gate.

Closes #1697

* fix(ai-chat): drop server-rendered disabled attr, keep JS-driven gate (#1697)

Codex review (P1) + @JSONbored + @jjmata called out that rendering the
submit button with `disabled: message_hint.blank?` would lock the
form out for users without working JS (asset failure, exception during
Stimulus init, etc.). Server-side validation already catches empty
submits with a real error message — server-disabling the button on top
of that turns a soft fail into a hard one.

Remove the server-render `disabled:` attribute. The chat Stimulus
controller still runs `#updateSubmitState()` on connect, on every
input event, and after sample-question injection, and `handleInputKeyDown`
still short-circuits empty Enter submits. With JS the UX is identical;
without JS the form keeps its fallback path.

Sure: The personal finance app for everyone

Get involved: DiscordWebsiteIssues

Important

This repository is a community fork of the now-abandoned Maybe Finance project.
Learn more in their final release doc.

Backstory

The Maybe Finance (archived/abandoned repo) team spent most of 20212022 building a full-featured personal finance and wealth management app. It even included an “Ask an Advisor” feature that connected users with a real CFP/CFA — all included with your subscription.

The business end of things didn't work out, and so they stopped developing the app in mid-2023.

After spending nearly $1 million on development (employees, contractors, data providers, infra, etc.), the team open-sourced the app. Their goal was to let users self-host it for free — and eventually launch a hosted version for a small fee.

They actually did launch that hosted version … briefly.

That also didnt work out — at least not as a sustainable B2C business — so now here we are: hosting a community-maintained fork to keep the codebase alive and see where this can go next.

Join us!

Hosting Sure

Sure is a fully working personal finance app that can be self hosted with Docker.

Performance Issues

With data-heavy apps, inevitably, there are performance issues. We've set up a public dashboard showing the problematic requests seen on the demo site, along with the stacktraces to help debug them.
