I know RoR isn't as fashionable as it used to be.<p>But I also know that there are tons of Rails devs out there still making cool stuff.<p>What have you built lately?
I’m building Rewardful, a way to setup affiliate programs with Stripe.<p><a href="https://www.getrewardful.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.getrewardful.com/</a><p>I debated what stack to use. I thought maybe I should use this as an opportunity to go deep into Node + React or Vue, or maybe Laravel.<p>Ultimately I decided to stick to what I know best — my end goal is to build a business, not experiment.<p>In the end this turned out to be a good decision because WOW are there a lot of moving parts to doing affiliate software correctly & robustly. It would’ve probably doubled development time if I had simultaneously been mastering a new stack.<p>The app is built in boring old Rails & Bootstrap. But not a single customer has mentioned the tech - they only care that Rewardful solves their problem. This experience has been a good reminder about what matters!
I'm busy building <a href="http://diyrss.info" rel="nofollow">http://diyrss.info</a>.<p>I'm hoping to fill a personal need for a tool to help me keep up to date with blogs and other sites I follow. I hate notification spam, so I'm trying to centralize it on one app.<p>Also been learning some varied deploy practices. Explored my way through Docker and Gitlab integrations, checked out Google Cloud. After all of that I still preferred running a bare linux server while I'm pretty much the only one using it.
I've been using Rails for quite some time and recently built a couple of different projects using it (still my favorite framework):<p>- Communities List (<a href="http://www.communitieslist.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.communitieslist.com/</a>) & Closeknit (<a href="http://www.closeknit.co/" rel="nofollow">http://www.closeknit.co/</a>) for finding and building communities;<p>- 24agenda (<a href="https://www.24agenda.com/en" rel="nofollow">https://www.24agenda.com/en</a>) an appointment management solution currently deployed in Portugal;<p>- SciShare (<a href="http://www.sci-share.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sci-share.com/</a>) a scientific reference management platform;<p>- Octotrack (<a href="https://www.octotrack.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.octotrack.com/</a>) a dependency and security manager for rails projects;
I’ve been building <a href="https://payhere.co/" rel="nofollow">https://payhere.co/</a> a payments platform to help entrepreneurs and small businesses sell more products and memberships online.<p>My agency alternatelabs.co uses Rails for nearly all our projects as we think it’s still the most productive framework for building most businesses in 2018.
I've built a scheduling website for a community I run that watches anime in VR. Use Rails 5.1 with Vue and Webpacker. It's finally not hard to have modern front-end stack while retaining the power of RoR on the backend.

My friend and I are building Transistor.fm, running Rails 5.2 in production. Here's an example of the app:<p><a href="https://saas.transistor.fm" rel="nofollow">https://saas.transistor.fm</a>
