Indie hacking on:

[Carmine Paolino @paolino]

I released kamal-backup today.

There are Kamal accessories for database backups. None do Active Storage. None use restic. None ship restores, drills, or evidence for security reviews.

So I built one.

[The Boring Marketer @boringmarketer]

I've been seeing a lot of "claude just killed our startup" type posts.

important reminder: build for normies. don't build for ai native people setting up openclaw and living in Claude Code everyday

lots of opportunities out there.

if you build for ai native folks, you better be focused on data moats or something extremely defensible (if you can find it)

[eminkel @eminkel]

@earthlingworks Totally feel this, the mundane, couple prompts and AI gets you movin'

[eminkel @eminkel]

New year, new Ruby 4.0

[eminkel @eminkel]

@aviflombaum This whole interaction is what frustrates me most about the current state of AI and being said programmer. 😫

[eminkel @eminkel]

@ben_makes_stuff @Steelcase I have a Steelcase Gesture, going on maybe 8+ years old. My only gripe, is their replacement parts network is complete shit. Parts should be more available, I shouldn't have to go through a separate retail network.

🚂 Announcing ClaudeOnRails!

Hey everyone! Just released a gem that might change how you build Rails apps. ClaudeOnRails creates a swarm of specialized AI agents for your Rails project:

• Architect (coordinates everything)
• Models, Controllers, Views specialists
• Testing expert
• Services, Background Jobs
• DevOps

Instead of manually switching contexts, you just describe what you want in natural language. The swarm automatically implements across all layers following Rails best practices.

gem 'claude-on-rails'
rails generate claude_on_rails:swarm
claude-swarm

Then once in the console say something like: "Create a shopping cart with Stripe integration"

Boom. Models, controllers, views, tests, service objects - all coordinated automatically. Brand new and still experimental but should already be useful, especially if you've been looking for an excuse to try agent swarms.

Would love feedback from the community!

@obie WELP I know what I'm doing this evening. 😁 Thanks!

[eminkel @eminkel]

Sounds like Heroku is down, this is why we deploy with kamal 😁

[eminkel @eminkel]

@bradgessler @stripe TIL, goddamn!

[eminkel @eminkel]

@BilalBudhani Build the thing. I've been heads in langchain-rb, I do like the design of ruby_llm, elegant

[eminkel @eminkel]

@kyrylo @igor_alexandrov I'd probably allow it to be chosen in an admin/users/show page. But, interactively you could allow a dropdown, unless users can have multiple roles 😅

[eminkel @eminkel]

@kyrylo @igor_alexandrov Star is more akin to a favorite, imho. I usually list labeled roles in text.

[eminkel @eminkel]

@jkostolansky @coorasse @robzolkos This is the way. Just setup CI/CD, push branch, merge branch, let the worker do the deploy for you, wait for the green check mark. And you're live!

[eminkel @eminkel]

@lazaronixon Appreciate all the time you've put into this.

[eminkel @eminkel]

@Hetzner_Online I don't know any other VPS provider that will delete servers over 8USD.

[eminkel @eminkel]

@andrewculver It will find new ways to use up all that unified memory. Do report back. 😅

[eminkel @eminkel]

@strzibnyj Looks like my only notifications over the weekend are spam bots here 😆

[eminkel @eminkel]

@leenyburger Yes, using web-components. For signing/authorization each service has an API that the widget hits to verify.

I've moved to a client-repo / rails-app-repo setup for both. The client side stuff lives on S3.

For frontend if it's not vanilla JS boilerplate setup, I use Svelte.
