I Miss Rails

However, I do think that in the transition to the modern web stack (something like React / nodejs / graphql / etc), we’ve unsolved some of what tools like Rails made easy 10 years ago – and I don’t think it needs to be that way. Compare that to the state of the typical web stack now, with something like a nodejs / typescript graphql backend and React / Apollo on the frontend. There’s no longer a standardized way to get user accounts with a login/signup, forgot password and email confirmation flow, despite every application needing it, so instead we need to spend days rewriting this functionality anew on each project.
