Post Description

For close to a year now I have been exploring what a rails-like framework in Go could look like, from my perspective.

This has resulted in a very opinionated set of tools, architecture and agent-friendly CLI that I believes will make building fast and secure web apps in Go a much better experience. Omakase as DHH would say.

Check it out and let me know what you think and please open an issue if you have feature requests or find any bugs!

The Rails developers' guide to mobile app frameworks

The piece lays out four concrete paths and calls out real, operational tradeoffs — for example, when fully native forces you to build a JSON API and maintain three codebases, and when React Native’s plugin model drags you back into platform code. The author’s claim of having shipped 25+ Rails-backed apps gives the recommendations weight, and the write-up reads like a pragmatic checklist you’d use in a team meeting rather than marketing fluff.
