We're taking "Show HN" out of this title because the software isn't ready to be tried out.

Please read the new Show HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html. Landing pages and email signups are explicitly excluded. But when your work is ready for people to play with, please come back and do a Show HN then!

Hey dang, I'm sending all invites right as I get requests now and the email gate will fully come down soon. Is there any chance I can get the "Show HN" back?

Is this something I can download onto my own machine and run, or I need to do it through the website?

I'm deploying with the email gate removed now. If I don't hear back, I'll just make a new "Show HN" post.

Happy to put Show HN back in the title.

It's all through the web.

This looks great! I like how this one concentrates on the back-end features more than the views. It just generates all the backend/routing and lets you put in the special view logic yourself. Good way to not get distracted trying to master a WYSWIG.

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 is a fantastic tool, really well implemented. Will definitely be following along how this develops in the future.
