view_component
A framework for building reusable, testable & encapsulated view components in Ruby on Rails.
These days, I reach for ViewComponent as my default for any view logic — reused partials, anything with non-trivial rendering behaviour, anything I want to test without standing up a full controller context. The icon renderer works fine and doesn't need much maintenance (it's still in use in that project), but it was exactly the kind of thing ViewComponent was made for.

Amoeba
A ruby gem to allow the copying of ActiveRecord objects and their associated children, configurable with a DSL on the model
-
The first time this came up, I immediately reached for a gem. Everyone does, especially early in your career. The excellent inline_svg was the obvious choice. It worked out of the box, slotted cleanly into ERB templates via a view helper, and had first-class support for a range of asset pipeline configurations — including Webpacker (Webpacker, not Shakapacker — yes, that long ago), which was always awkward to work with.

-
u-service
Represent use cases in a simple and powerful way while writing modular, expressive and sequentially logical code.
