I hear you. I'd say the value prop is drop-in integration and customization with Rails, time-saving design (useful for 0-1 or early-stage ideas for non-design-savvy folks), and few…

I hear you and it's coming up next. I needed/wanted to lay ground work for stuff that's easier to tweak to match your own branding. Many Rails apps are similar in niche so I tried …

Plenty of free options out there. Have at them! There's a completely free version of Rails UI as well. Linked right from the home page hero.

It's like $15 a month annualized. We add new themes and components quarterly. If that's too steep you're not the target customer. Thanks for chiming in.

Pretty much drop in for rails specific UI. Much of it is HTML which could definitely carry over to Django with a little work or one shot conversion with your favorite AI tool of ch…

I heard this from others so will do!

Dang, you're going way back! Thanks for chiming in. It has been a long road :)

What's a better play? Drop the carousel? Open to ideas!

Started this whole thing off thinking I'd use Bootstrap, Tailwind, and other frameworks but it quickly became way to complex. Tailwind won the battle.

Yeah pretty much didn't care about it for the sake of effect. That's a big no no I know. The website isn't really the focus as the goods in the ruby gem are more of the focus. Cons…

That's fair. Probably not a good fit for you then. I wanted to keep the human element alive where I could with this project and I know AI will likely take all our jobs, so be it. I…

Definitely aware. I built it to scratch my own itch to be honest. I'm going the non AI route with it. Lotta slop out there. I'm sure it will improve but I'm fine with this being a …

I used AI sparingly actually. Mostly just some help for Ruby gem architecture and how to approach swapping themes on the fly otherwise all me. I'm a product designer by day so this…

Same here. This was human driven UI. I used AI sparingly for mostly architecture decisions on the gem. Otherwise all by hand. I'm a product designer by trade.

That's fair. I think there's a future where some folks won't want AI to generate all the things. I replied to another comment before but this was very little AI minus some architec…

There's an open source Ruby gem you can use at will. https://github.com/getrailsui/railsui

Good feedback! This is a common misconception about themes. Rails UI is more of a hybrid as it offers UI components plus optional pages that build out a theme using those component…

Thanks for chiming in! The login box is maybe confusing or maybe I'm misunderstanding you, it's actually UI for a login box, not actually where you login. I agree this area could b…

Oh damn, haha. Sorry if it cooks your machine.

Yes, it's on my radar to add more unique designs to the mix. Less typical, if that makes sense. For now, it's mostly a huge head start if you're building quickly. And yes, unused T…

Thanks

Gotta love Safari. Thanks for spotting.

In general, I like it for the speed. I can build an MVP in less than a weekend using Rails, Rails UI, and some AI for some one-shot copy and random repetitive stuff. Under the hood…

Will get this fixed, thanks!

Been there! I see this as a solo dev or small startup tool, great for building 0-1 ideas faster (which is what I use it for). Unless they’re working on greenfield apps, established…
