Hi Uneed!
My name is Dani the maker behind Lightning Rails.
This project is the result of my conflicting love for Marc Lou's Shipfast Boilerplate and Ruby on Rails.
I could not find a boilerplate for Indie Makers on the Rails stack. The other boilerplates were either too expensive or too complicated for simple MVPs, so I built my own.
The process was quite straightforward. I looked at all my projects over the past four years and gathered the most common commits into an easy-to-use Ruby on Rails Boilerplate. Lightning Rails focuses on repetitive tasks and preloads a 100% free tech stack so you can build MVPs as fast and cheaply as possible.
With a "git clone lightning rails" & "bash setup.sh" you'll have:
🎨 20+ Themes to choose from
🖼️ 25+ pre-designed components to render with one line.
👩💻 Authentication & pages
💸 Stripe payment gateway
📊 Admin dashboards
📱 Fully responsive
🪄 Magic Link Signups & OAuth
🆙 Unlimited updates
📄 SEO tags and more...
You will also get access to my other HTML boilerplate aimed at validating startup ideas, Free to clone, Free to host.
I have been iterating through the code and its corresponding documentation for the past four months, thanks to more than 150 paying users who have provided valuable feedback.
