Cool site! Love seeing what others have built using rails. I've been working on a membership management platform [1] using Rails + Hotwire Turbo & Stimulus and I can't imagine how long it would have taken me using other framew

I’m building a member management platform [1] with Rails + Turbo + Stimulus and it continues to surprise me how easy it is to just… do things with rails. * Want to allow your users to write rich text? Easy just use ActionText * Storage and

I can't help but envy the engineers in this article as I sit here, procrastinating my fulltime career as a glorified CRUD engineer with complementary soft skills. Maybe the grass is always greener, but it just sounds like an incredible

Thank you! We chose PayPal to ensure clubs and organizations can use our platform without needing a bank account or 501c3 registration, we also plan to leverage PayPal's non-profit transaction discount program for clubs who _are_ regis

Looks really cool & quite in-depth, awesome project. Are you a solo-developer or a game studio building this?

Thanks for the opinion! I work with type annotated Python day-to-day so I'm excited to have that sort of type safety with a tool like Sorbet, sounds like I should check it out sometime soon.

How do you like using sorbet? Does it feel natural? I’m also running service on rails and considering trying to integrate sorbet but worry about the syntax

Oops looks like we didn’t expire our offer banner correctly — thanks for the heads up. We definitely offer evaluation plans & free tiers, if you want to give me a shout over at grant@embolt.app; I can help set you up with an account to

I’m a bit confused on the “Threats” section, entering my member management startup https://embolt.app shows malware detected with a timestamp dating back to 2018 (we launched this year). I checked out another startup I know of (

We've been using highlight for our bootstrapped member management platform[1] and I gotta say I'm super impressed with the session replay feature, it's really helpful for understanding user behavior at a fraction of the price

Rails is *ancient* in the context of tech though, I think it's fair to criticize the skeletons in the closest while not necessarily refuting that the ecosystem is still active. An equivalent example imo is the PHP ecosystem, which itse

From personal experience, I also appreciate that it's one of the easier stacks to keep updated with the latest and greatest. I've upgraded projects from sprocket-backed asset pipelines to bun in a couple days time, and the new too

For what it's worth, TypedDict was a bit ahead of it's own time. Python 3.12 is really the turning point for being able to leverage them effectively for stuff like **kwargs[1][2] from typing import TypedDict, Unpack, NotRequ

Our curriculum was c++, so it was familiar territory for the students in terms of both the language and the compiler but yeah you can likely do this exercise with any compiled language.

This reminds me of one of my favorite CS assignments in college for a systems programming class: > Given a hello world C++ snippet, submit the smallest possible compiled binary I remember using tools like readelf and objdump to

Thanks! I initially started out with just jQuery but eventually realized I needed to support more complex interactions and adopted Turbo & Stimulus [1]. Still sticking with server-side rendering though, always loved that approach to bui

I generally mean a member based organizations, could be a book club or professional association or anything of the sorts. Not every club charges dues, but those that do generally start off with a google form and a pinky promise that you&#x2

Very cool! Form builders are really fun applications to build and teach you a lot about more advanced relational models (like polymorphic relations) I scrapped together a form-builder-with-payments using RoR and RailsAdmin last year for my

I recall a popular rails gem[1] once upon a time that provided multi-tenancy via postgres schemas. As it turns out, even the company the initially developed the gem ended up ditching the approach due to some of the issues you outlined above

Anecdotally, there’s a great episode of the journal[1] that does not lend too much credence to the idea that the reverse migration movement is anything but a temporary stay away from home. I think it’s much too early to really say the trend

As with most things in life, moderation is key. I find co-pilot primarily useful as an auto-complete tool to save keystrokes when writing predictable context driven code. Writing an enum class in one window? Co-pilot can use that context to
