We use these both for https://jumpstartrails.com and it works great. You have to build your own authentication and native navigation, but for launching your app on mobile and the web, it's hard to beat.
Curious, how do you feel about admin frameworks vs admin generators/scaffolding? I wonder how much of the let down of most admin frameworks (with DSLs) is just because of how damn hard it is to build something that can meet all those use cases, versus just having boiler-plate killing scaffolding tools that you can then modify the code of however you want.
Yeah, Avo is a great alternative to the free admin we ship with (Administrate). And Jumpstart Pro customers get 20% off their first year of Avo. Thanks for sharing that discount Adrian!
There have been a couple huge successes with it. One of them is processing millions in revenue a month. A lot of others are doing well and chugging along. Can't share the exact ones without permission, but I've been blown away it.
At the end of the day, it's nice to help people focus on their unique business features and not payments, teams, etc.
Thanks for all you do for the Rails community with videos, etc. besides Jumpstart. It was actually a smart way to market Jumpstart (even though that wasn't the original intention).
Thanks for the support! Glad you've been enjoying Hatchbox. We're wrapping up v2 and can't wait to share it. Upgrading to Caddy for the web server has been wonderful.
Yes, I can def-ly see it is way better. Question here, as far as i understand Caddy is a paid product, how its licensing works while deploying on customers servers?
That would be so much fun. I originally started GoRails because I missed Railscasts so much. <3 I learned everything from Railscasts when I started with Rails.
A lot of the sponsors that do well are ones that offer things that the sponsor wants. Trading a couple hours a month consulting for $1k/mo in sponsorship helps make it worth doing to the donors. They want to support you, but they also probably could use your help.
Effectively you're productizing consulting and that flips it from a donation to a purchase. They get a tangible thing for their money this way. I think that helps a lot for making sponsorships more successful.
I've been working on something like this for Ruby on Rails in case anyone is interested. It has multitenancy, billing separate for each tenant, automatic query filtering for the current tenant, etc. https://jumpstartrails.com
Why is that an opt-in option? No codebase should ever be willing to create a session id (any db/cache id/key) based on request details. The fact you have to opt in to a very basic security measure is, once again, a joke. Let's be clear: by default, Rails is willing to assign a client any session id based on its own request?!?!
Based on the other reply to my comment... no I'm not OK. I am not OK with Rails' pathetic attempts at the most basic level of security. Rails' developers are fucking amateurs. I'm sorry, but that's pure fact. Rails' developers don't know the first thing about the HTTP protocol.
NOBODY EVER CREATES A DB/CACHE KEY BASED ON THE VALUE OF A CLIENT-PROVIDED COOKIE (or unvalidated GET/POST). Anyone who argues against this should be permanently banned from IT/Technology. Just... fuck off... you have no clue.
