Opinionated starter kit for creating web applications with Ruby on Rails. It comes in several flavors, available so far:

• Hotwire (the “DHH way”)
• Svelte.js connected by Inertia.js
• Vue.js connected by API

Dashboard for visualizing measurements of a photovoltaic system. The data is managed by a time series database.

There is a separate website (in German).

Building Docker images usually takes a long time. Started as a blog post, I maintain a base image with pre-installed dependencies for Ruby on Rails, which I use for most of my Rails applications.

This makes building a new image 2-3 times faster than before, which greatly improves Continuous Integration (CI).

Inertia.js is a new approach to building classic server-driven web apps. It lets you quickly build modern single-page React, Vue and Svelte apps using classic server-side routing and controllers.

There’s an official demo application to illustrate how Inertia.js works – but written in Laravel (PHP). I’ve ported this demo application to Ruby on Rails.

There are many ways to ship a Rails application, one of them is to provide Docker containers that can run on any (Linux) host.

This small project provides a sample Rails application that I use as reference application for a multi-container architecture.

The basic structure of double-entry bookkeeping is supported by this RubyGem.

Besides accounts and the accounting journal, account groups, cost centers and taxes are supported. It is possible to create the balance sheet, the profit and loss statement and the trial balance.

Since the introduction of SEPA, the Single Euro Payments Area, a new data format is required to submit payment orders to the house bank. This RubyGem creates the required XML files according to ISO 20022 for direct debits and credits.

In most applications, settings have to be managed, either user-specific or for certain other data objects. This RubyGem provides the basics to store settings in a SQL database.
