Thanks ch4s3. I released the starter kit after bashing my head in on a few configuration tasks with various gems. I haven't looked far and wide, but I think it's one of the more complete Rails 4 starter apps. I needed it for my own projects, but hopefully it can save some other devs configuration time. If you know of other solid starter app projects, I'm happy to fork them and make them discoverable in https://github.com/starterkits https://github.com/starterkits. It's meant to be a community project. I just haven't had any time to promote it.

Hi. This looks great. I'm new to rails and this looks like it will be fun to mess around with tomorrow and learn what the commons gems etc are. Seriously - Thanks very much for making this. Anything I should know as a noob or shall I just dive in and have a play around?

  You should be able to just dive in. Rails is pretty friendly that way. The starterkit app is just a basic Rails 4.1 app with all the gems. So anything you find in Rails 4.1 tutorials should work just fine. If you run into any issues, just open an issue on the project and I'll do what I can to help.

Neat. The problem with templates in general they lose an ability to hack on and recreate them because they depend on code generation and manual tweaks that have already been done (and lost). As such, I'm refactoring https://github.com/steakknife/rails41rc_plus_hacks_and_threads https://github.com/steakknife/rails41rc_plus_hacks_and_threa... into generators that will add the right things to a bare Rails app. So if you need omniauth + devise + cancan but not X, it's a `rails g` away. Rails has an amazing app generator DSL built-in.

  I totally agree. Generators are the way to go. I just haven't had time to make them for starterkit. Open an issue or pull request when you get your generators working, and I'll happily link to your project. Always good to give people options.
