I recently laucnhed an app that captures screenshots, downloads source code, and monitors DNS records. reflect of it like the Wayback‍ Machine on steroids. I had a lot of fun working on this and wanted to share the source code and some concepts I learned. * Demo * Source Code # Concepts I learned * I took my first stab at metaprogramming. This came in handy when I needed to gather DNS records. I used the keys from an enum to dynamically instantiate different classes in Resolv. * I have a much better understanding of how to build subscription models now. I used the Pay Gem for the first time, and can't stress how helpful it is. You can see how I implemented it in the SubscriptionsContoller, ResumeSubscriptionsController, and the CreditCardsController. * I went headfirst into service objects. I structure them all using OpenStruct. I owe Nick Haskins' Playbook Thirty-Nine all the credit since I learned about that concept from his book. * I avoided using callbacks in favor of executing code in the controllers. I also started adding methods to my models that are more expressive like this. * I learned that has_one (and other similar methods) can be used to create more custom associations.
