I see that the author is affiliated with https://jumpstartrails.com in some way (not sure whether they are a contractor or user or w/e). Does anyone have any direct successes with jumpstartrails or any other similar all in one frameworks?

I started a company a couple of years ago and sunk weeks/months into the boilerplate, eventually to abandon the project, package the core product as an CLI and open source it. Hoping to avoid that again in the future :p



Creator of Jumpstart Pro here!

There have been a couple huge successes with it. One of them is processing millions in revenue a month. A lot of others are doing well and chugging along. Can't share the exact ones without permission, but I've been blown away it.

At the end of the day, it's nice to help people focus on their unique business features and not payments, teams, etc.


Thanks for all you do for the Rails community with videos, etc. besides Jumpstart. It was actually a smart way to market Jumpstart (even though that wasn't the original intention).


Thanks Josh! I appreciate you!


Jumpstart is incredibly productive and well tested. You get full access to the codebase, so anything can be changed/customized.

The scaffolds are already updated to utilize the latest Rails 7/Hotwire patterns .

I'm currently developing with it on a personal project.


I'm in charge of Jumpstart iOS! It's a similar template but for Turbo Native-powered iOS apps.

Jumpstart takes care of a _lot_ of the boilerplate code in building a saas. I think it's worth the investment, but I'm involved in the project, so I'm pretty biased.


I used Jumpstart on a recent side project. It's pretty good but because it comes with so many things baked in, you have to agree with most of their stack/gem decisions and methodology (which I do for the most part) but you need to consider that going into it.


Does exactly that, it provides you with a stable and ready-to-build foundation with very little configuration
