  A few weeks ago I had a bunch of data I needed to be able to play around with. I’m not great at Excel but I spun up a quick app in Rails and fed the data into a local Postgres db and played around with it there very easily. Didn’t need auth or CSS or JS or anything but just out of the box Rails. The scaffold pages were more than enough for the data I was playing with. All in all it took maybe 15 minutes to get everything set up and configured. I sometimes use Flask for the same thing but I end up having to write my own HTML and CSS and routes and... Rails just takes care of all of that. I find it faster by a huge margin.
