Ah yes, if you are going to be navigating from a controller to a LiveView then you’re going to get the reload. There is no simple way around that that I know of. I think using AJAX would even be complicated based on how LiveView works (it first makes an HTTP request then upgrades to a websocket). I think your best bet would be to make UserController a LiveView and stick it under the live_session. That’s the extent of what I know unless anyone else can chime in. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!

You mean tab navigation? (sorry, I don’t know Twitter very well).

Take a look at live navigation in the guides as well as the docs for push_patch/2.

live_session/3 might also be of interest. If not now it will be soon enough!

If you are navigating within the same LiveView then you can use <.link patch={~p"/route"}>...</.link>. If you are navigating to a different LiveView that is under the same live session, then you use <.link redirect={~p"/route"}>...</.link> which will happen in the same websocket connection and the browser won’t reload.
