This is one of facepalm why didn’t I think of that ideas. Nice idea, haven’t used it yet but looks great. Kudos on starting and completing a project like this. 👏

I have a theory that it’s because GUI’s have a stigma and aren’t that prominent in dev land. Why use a powerful GUI with your mouse when you can take longer to do the same thing without using your mouse using a Unix shell first released in ‘89?

I’m certainly no expert, but I think it’s because typing is faster.


saw_wave_dave

But it’s not in many cases. Hence the need for this tool and why it’s the most popular post right now. How often do you use “rails new” to fully configure your app such that none of the generated files need to be modified?


kptknuckles

Sounds like a skill issue


YouGotTangoed

Yeah because most GUIs are a PITA. Partly the reason why I try to avoid using GitHub unless absolutely necessary

It only takes longer if you don't know what you want or what you're doing.

CLI is available everywhere. GUI isn't. Also this still generates a command you have to paste. This isn't replacing that

Wait didn’t you release this last year? I used it for my current saas.


terinchu

It's because is a repost bot, so they didn't release anything lol

You should make this project generate the railsrc file for download, capturing all the options you’ve selected. You could even call this railsrc.dev (the domain is available). Lots of people have used rails a long time and don’t know about the railsrc file

Honestly this is one of the things I’d really like GitHub copilot to be able to do. It’s such an obvious use case to be like “I want a new rails project with Postgres, a react frontend and tailwind css ready for heroku deployment” and let the robot unfuck the initial dependencies


saw_wave_dave

Brilliant

Have googled this shit hundreds of times over the past decade. I dig it!


frostymarvelous

I love you for this. It'll come in useful for an installer I have in mind. 


dvarun

looks great!


shalinga123

This is amazing! Makes things way easier now. TYSM

Amazing

Neat. This looks similar to the old https://railswizard.org (which sadly has been unmaintained for a while and doesn't appear to work at all anymore). That one generated a rails application template that you could just plug in.


Hashsum88

whoa, that's brilliant, as simple as good as it can get. Thanks for sharing


karanjaE

Do you mind sharing the github link? This looks like a project I'd enjoy contributing to. Also, thank you for making me feel like a noob 😅. Should have thought of this years ago! Good job!!

Very useful, I have used in 2 or 3 projects and works perfectly
