Introduction to Gem narabikae: A New Position Management Algorithm Inspired by Figma’s Fractional Indexing
In a project I participated in, we originally used the acts_as_list gem to manage the position of items with incremental integers. Every time the position of items was changed, the client would send all the reordered data to the server, which then recalculated the positions.

Adding position columns based on category
You can use acts_as_list gem.
-
Best way to represent a "sequence" column in a relational database.
You can take a look at one of the longest running ruby gems, that is still part of many people's default toolbox: acts_as_list. If you don't want to use the gem, you can take a look at how they implemented the resorting.

Awesome Ruby and Rails Open Source applications
I saw your sort request in the TODO. Check out the acts_as_list gem. It makes sorting lists incredibly easy.

Is JSONB + Postgres still a viable way of storing varying attributes?
There are some other gems that can do similar things (each with somewhat different design and possibilities) including https://github.com/madeintandem/jsonb_accessor , https://github.com/DmitryTsepelev/store_model , and https://github.com/palkan/store_attribute

How to implement user options
One of these two should do the trick: https://github.com/jrochkind/attr_json https://github.com/DmitryTsepelev/store_model

store_model 1.0.0. released
store_model is a gem for wrapping JSONB values to ActiveRecord–like models:
-
Rails attributes: an essential API you can probably ignore
I find it most useful for wrapping JSON columns to some smart Ruby objects e.g. with https://github.com/DmitryTsepelev/store_model
-
Is there a way you can create a base model and your client may add attributes as needed?
Take a look at these gems, and see if they fit your needs: - https://github.com/DmitryTsepelev/store_model - https://github.com/madeintandem/jsonb_accessor
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ActsAsList and StoreModel you can also consider the following projects:
ranked-model - An acts_as_sortable/acts_as_list replacement built for Rails 4+
ActiveRecordExtended - Adds additional postgres functionality to an ActiveRecord / Rails application
rails_or - Cleaner syntax for writing OR Query in Rails 5, 6. And also add #or support to Rails 3 and 4.
arel-helpers - Useful tools to help construct database queries with ActiveRecord and Arel.
FindWithOrder - Provides a simple way to find records in the same order of input array. Has better performance than manually sorting. (Support both PostgreSQL and MySQL)
SanitizeSqlLike - Backport #sanitize_sql_like method from Rails 4 for Rails 3. Sanitizes a string so that it is safe to use within an SQL LIKE statement.
