Hi, I'm Dani!

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, 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 doing all the repetitive tasks and pre-loads a 100% free tech stack, all so you can build MVPs as fast and cheaply as possible.

Features

With a simple "git clone lightningrails" 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
📄 SEO tags
🎁 Icons Library
and more...

Tech Stack

Lightning Rails's tech stack is specifically created for Indie Making, all out stack and tools are free to use or at least have generous freemium plans:

Cloudinary: Assets management
Lucide Icons: Easily render icons
Postmark: Transactional emails
Motor Admin: Strongest Admin dashboard with advanced SQL queries
DaisyUI Library: Tailwind UI library
Stripe: Payment Gateaway

I have been iterating through the code and its corresponding documentation over the past month thanks all the existing users.
