As you know, Livewire sometimes runs into painful DOM diffing issues. They can usually be solved with simple workarounds, but sometimes those workarounds get quite complex.

So I built a package that adds a `wire:replace` directive, telling Livewire to replace an entire chunk of the DOM, instead of trying to diff individual changes.
