Cool idea, but I immediately left when I saw the only background process option was DelayedJob. With greatly advanced options like Resque and Sidekiq, I fail to see a need for DJ personally.

At my job, the lack of high reliability/availability options for Redis was why we chose DelayedJob. This may have changed since we made that decision, but at the time there was no consensus on a solution in the Redis community.

This is why I love Ruby. It's got all the built-in language features that allow one to perform this sort of abstraction, and a large-enough user base so that powerful ideas like this will eventually be implemented. I couldn't imagine anything like this existing in even Python.

This looks pretty neat. Looking forward to you getting the disabled features ironed out. Some notes: * Project generation with most of the features and a couple models is taking a really long time. I'm sure it's a background job, and I could walk away if I wanted to, but it'd be nice to know that the system would email me to let me know when it was done * Sometimes UI widgets flicker when switching between sections.…

Really appreciate the detailed feedback. * Email on generation is a good idea. Also, I don't have a Gem cache system yet which will help. * Flickering is because some of the inputs have to compute a lot of values @ Backbone model layer. Definitely opportunity for optimization. * Thanks :) * A lot of users have asked for user contributed features. The problem is it's hard to extract an API from my generation system bu…

Re the auth issues, why not let people clone / download a zip direct from you, skipping the github auth.
