🏁 tinystarter

A minimalist starting template for Rails 8+ applications.

No options, just a nice omakase stack and design.

You can edit the list in tinystarter.rb to remove any modules you don't want to install.

Use

Clone the repo and reference the tinystarter.rb file with the -m argument:

Note you will need tailwind and bun, as tinystarter uses DaisyUI which builds on top of tailwind and cannot be installed via importmaps

rails new APP_NAME --css=tailwind --javascript=bun -m /tinystarter/tinystarter.rb
cd APP_NAME && rails db:prepare
./bin/dev

After

Here's a check list of things to do after creating an app with tinystarter:

• Find and replace tinyapp with the name of your app. This is used in some headers
• Drop your analytics code in views/shared/_analytics.html.erb
• Change views/shared/_footer.html.erb to your url of choice
• Drop a privacy policy and terms and conditions in views/static_pages/privacy.html.erb and views/static_pages/terms_and_conditions.html.erb

TODO

• Rspec / factorybot config
• devise allow unconfirmed access
• modal / onboarding
• Basic tests
• Mailer config
• Kamal deploy GitHub action
• Exception notification -> slack or telegram
• Metatags (with sensible defaults)
