ruby-next VS keygen-api

But if it really bothers you, check out ruby-next.

I hope to get some time to try to contribute it to ruby-next https://github.com/ruby-next/ruby-next/issues/98

As it would happen, the folks behind Ruby Next have some ideas here, and have done a significant amount of work in enabling this very vision to become a reality.

Don’t give the punchline away, but this post is actually a big tutorial about using Ruby Next to modify Ruby exactly to your tastes. Here’s hoping you’ll have as much fun reading this fantasy as I did writing it. 😅

You can with Ruby Next: https://github.com/ruby-next/ruby-next#proposed-and-edge-features

Long term HN user @ezekg also runs this https://keygen.sh/ if that might suit your needs (i.e. if you want to separate out licensing logic from the payment logic)

Keygen | Front-end Engineer | Full- or part-time | Remote (US only) | https://keygen.sh

Keygen is an open, source-available software licensing and distribution API built and run by myself. I'm a bit stretched thin in terms of front-end and support. I have a big front-end redesign code-named Portal on the roadmap that I haven't been able to make much progress on over the last couple years. I'm looking for somebody to help take that off my plate. You'd be the company's first hire, and would work directly with me, the founder. You'd be working out in the open, as the Portal app will be open sourced under an MIT license.

Looking for engineers that are familiar with TypeScript and React that can entirely own the app.

Absolutely lovely website you have at https://keygen.sh/

Did you write that as well or outsource it?

Took me a bit to realize it's licensing as in managing enterprise license keys 'C1B6DE-39A6E3...', not licensing as in MIT/GPL/etc. https://keygen.sh/

Does anyone know a minimal, alternative licensing solution appropriate for a tiny startup? One where the license key is the only form of user authentication. Is there a cheap service available? Or is it easy to roll a custom solution.

I don't have an Elixir background, but I absolutely utilize pattern matching in my Ruby code bases:

- https://github.com/keygen-sh/typed_params/blob/4e4982b7d2b26...

- https://github.com/keygen-sh/keygen-api/blob/master/app/migr...

- https://github.com/keygen-sh/keygen-api/blob/36cd61db143cc1c...

- https://github.com/keygen-sh/typed_params/blob/4e4982b7d2b26...

I love it. I want even more pattern matching too, like with defp: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19764.

Honestly, I don't have many resources to provide. I read a lot of policy tests via GitHub search (e.g. path:spec/policies/*/*.rb), but couldn't find anything that looked like what I wanted. I wrote the DSL as-needed in order to fully test my app's authz while migrating from Pundit to ActionPolicy.

It's not the prettiest when you actually look beneath the covers [0], but it does what I wanted -- provides a way to write exhaustive authz tests. Without the DSL, I probably wouldn't have written. The PR for said migration was massive [1], and was a precursor to going open source [2].

Yes, I can see why you might make this argument. [1]

And not at all set on WorkOS. It just looked like the easiest way to set up SSO last time I researched the topic. Feel free to comment on the issue with any recommendations.

Since when can you run heroku pg:upgrade to switch database tiers? I was following an upgrade sequence I put together over the years [^0], but I guess Heroku automated this at some point? What would be really funny is if this had been possible all long...
