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 attachments? ActionStorage is easy to setup * Job queue, asynchronous work? No problem with ActiveJob

Today I learned about Rails system tests and found it so cool. With almost no configuration I can write tests that interact with my app through a headless browser.

Rails is the ultimate solo developer and hobby project tool for me

Same feeling, I’m usually a Go developer but all my side projects are in Rails. It’s just fun to work with and see how fast things are up and running. Using gorails.com and Copilot helped a lot too.
