    Project mention: Is Ruby a dying language? | /r/ruby | 2023-12-05

    No, it's just no longer over-hyped. Ruby is settling into being a mature production language, similar to Python, Java, .NET, C++, etc. As you can see from the RedMonk 2023 data Ruby is very much still alive with tons of repositories on GitHub. Besides Shopify, GitHub is another big Ruby/Rails shop. Also, besides Rails, there are other new and upcoming projects like Hanami, DragonRuby, and Ronin.

  • Devise Token Auth

    Token based authentication for Rails JSON APIs. Designed to work with jToker and ng-token-auth.

  • flipper

    🐬 Beautiful, performant feature flags for Ruby. (by flippercloud)

    Project mention: Feature flags in Rails: How to roll out and manage your features like a pro | dev.to | 2023-04-07

    That’s it! You now have a fully configured feature flagging system in your Rails app. Notice we didn’t cover some more advanced features that Flipper offers, including enabling features for a user group or individual users. For that, check out Flipper on Github. We also didn’t cover feature flagging frontend features in this post - if that becomes a requirement we could easily create an endpoint that uses the FeaturesRepo  and sends enabled features to the frontend to toggle. If you learned something new consider following me here - I’ll be putting out more content on Ruby on Rails and software development as I work on Firecode.io. Preparing for a coding interview? Check out Firecode.io.
