    Glad you're taking the lead on continuing work on this gem. I use it extensively, but one of the biggest issues is the same as this one: https://github.com/ctran/annotate_models/issues/946. Any chance you addressed that in your version?

    Hi yall. If you have seen db schema comments atop of model files then you've probably used the annotate gem. I left my job back in February and wanted to work on open source with some of my free time. So, I've spent the past 3 months on a fork and wanted to tell r/rails about it.

    I believe Ctran is aware of this based on his response in this issue https://github.com/ctran/annotate_models/issues/913
  • What was the name of the gem that finds all unindexed foreign keys?

    A gem that's pretty useful alongside this one is the annotation gem -- it prefixes models with their specific schema dump (as comments) and then updates those descriptive comments on migration. It's one of my go-to gems to install when I rotate onto a new-to-me Rails project (or start a new one) and I'm working to understand the data model.
