This might be a good place for a Java programmer to say thank you to the Rails community for your relentless mocking of Spring and Enterprise Java back in the days. Java is wonderful these days, and seriously I think you guys are a one of the major reasons why Java is so great today.
You’re welcome. Hehehe

Nice list. Did you actually look at those sites? Your first example implies "The New York Times" uses Tailwind. Besides that being hilarious, you click the link and immediately see there is a big subheading "Events" I have never heard of NYT "Events", so I checked out their page: https://www.nytimes.com/events > Do you believe that [The New York Times Events doesn't] have teams with "design chops"? Yes, yes I do. Not…
> They don't use it to build applications because you make your own design system for applications. Some examples of SaaS companies that use Tailwind on the application side are PlanetScale, Fly.io, Lemon Squeezy, and Supabase.
Building from scratch wastes a ton of time and I'm a big fan of starting with some working parts and customizing from there. I think with what's going on with AI it makes sense to use python more because all the researchers love python and make examples available through python notebooks. Then your tech stack is less split amongst many languages and there is less complexity and you can hire developers for cheaper. Ru…
We were very happy using Jumpstart Pro and were able to stay connected to changes as it evolved.
It'd be nice if there was a way to try the demo without signing in. That said, this looks like a good product. Are there other similar/competing things for Rails, and are there other competing SaaS-in-a-box things for other frameworks?
https://jumpstartrails.com is terrific.
I evaluated Bullet Train last year when building an MVP for a client. Ended up using Jump Start Rails instead. Main reasons: 1. The hybrid approach to iOS and Android apps with JSR were better than what BT had to offer 2. There was a lot less to learn about the mental model of how JSR was built via Bullet Train. It was basically pay, pull down, configure, and get going with JSR. BT has things like SuperScaffolding, a…

I’ve only heard good things about tailwind. Did you have a bad experience with it?
That's the nature of how these things go. People that like Tailwind praise it. People that think it's fundamentally bad design avoid it and don't say too much, or are drowned out by the people praising it. People who just write SCSS don't even think about it.
They literally wrote the book on good design[1]
