  1. kamal

    Deploy web apps anywhere.

    By then, Rails 8 had been released, along with a new deployment tool: Kamal. It felt like the right moment to modernize the app and explore what the latest version of Rails had to offer.

  3. Devise

    Flexible authentication solution for Rails with Warden.

    ActiveRubyist is now a Progressive Web App (PWA) with Hotwire-based interactivity. For authentication, I use devise, and for real-time notifications, noticed. Where possible, I lean into default Rails features: for background jobs, I use Solid Queue instead of Sidekiq, keeping everything aligned with the Rails way.
