Daisy-on-Rails: Ruby on Rails Starter Kit

Introduction

Daisy-on-Rails is a Ruby on Rails starter kit designed to bootstrap your new app with a modern Rails stack.

Keep it simple

The primary goal of Daisy-on-Rails is to offer a starter kit that accelerates the process of getting a new Rails application up and running with a modern tech stack and the base feature you need to quickly test a project.

It started as a recuring need to bootstrap new projects with a modern stack and a set of tools that I like to use. The goal of Daisy-on-Rails is to remain simple and minimalistic.
