Devise[1] alone makes it worth using rails for many webapps. Throw in things like simple form[2] and will paginate[3] and it's incredible how much you can get done cleanly and quickly. Using something like intercooler.js, you can build a solid modern web app in a fraction of the complexity of most systems today.

- fouc 7y agointercooler over turbolinks? or together? not quite sure what intercooler really brings
- throwaway_x13zd 7y agointercooler just gives you finer grained control over your ajax requests, which makes it easier to implement stuff like active search, etc. turbolinks is great if you just want a faster pure web-app. I've used both successfully independently and in tandem.
- fouc 7y agoThat's interesting! I do some ajax with the js.erb files, but I honestly find that it's pretty messy & gross. Maybe I could eliminate those .js.erb files with intercooler.js (or clean them up). Do you find that intercooler lets you avoid using .js.erb files altogether?
