Little demo of my Rails travel map app so far… 👀

Vibe coded in ~8 hours while streaming.

All built in my browser with @github.com Codespaces, Copilot, using various models (mostly Claude Sonnet 4.5).

It’s my first app! Lots more to do. But what do you think?

Making dinner then I think I’m gonna ~go live~ on YouTube and vibe code my first Rails app! 😆

Plz join (eta 30 mins ish) but I don’t want a ton of advice because I want to try to figure this out myself. 🙃 But we’ll see how it goes.

If you’re a startup selling developer tools or services and want to elevate your ✨marketing✨ in 2026 or monetize your OSS hmu. ☺️

I have 2 spots for fractional clients starting in Q1 and also open to project-based contracts.

Preference to clients in the Ruby ecosystem ofc. 💎

Really grateful to everyone who has subscribed to Ruby Around the World on YouTube, watched the first interview, shared it, or featured the project in their newsletters. 🥲

Hard to believe 131 people are following along now!

Editing my second episode of Ruby Around the World 🌍 with
Bernard Banta!

Banta was the keynote speaker at #RubyWorld this month and is the chairman and organizer of the African Ruby Community (5K+ members).

I am also INCREDIBLY excited about his Ruby open source work...

Big thank you again to @inazarova.bsky.social and the whole @evilmartians.com team and all the volunteers (like Gary here!) for this incredible event.

It feels so so good to have our Ruby friends here in our wonderful city.

It’s a beautiful gift. 🎁

AND we got a Rails X cake! (Iykyk)

Was so hyped for Vova’s closing keynote at #SFRuby today!

I posted a few videos on Twitter that are too large for Bluesky.

The Family Feud take on what needs to be reconsidered in Rails was great, & loved the “vibe-boarding” demo with @bolt.new! 👏

Definitely watch the recording when it comes out.

Almost 70 YouTube subscribers since Tuesday — thanks everyone!!

I’m so excited to keep sharing more of these incredible interviews from #RubyWorld in Japan! 🇯🇵

Stay tuned for another next week.

Breaking news — @getajobmike.ruby.social.ap.brid.gy announces the Gem Fellowship! 💎

Was very much looking forward to @getajobmike.ruby.social.ap.brid.gy’s #SFRuby talk on building a business based on open source, OSS governance, etc.

Definitely one of the best I’ve watched so far, along with Sarah Mei’s talk earlier today!

Wow I’m so thrilled 🥲🥲🥲

Next up, @marcoroth.dev’s opening keynote!!

Probably one of the most anticipated talks of the conference. I don’t think ANYONE else is doing Ruby OSS right now at this level, he’s a rockstar. 👏

Good morning, San Francisco Rubyists!!! 😍 So excited to exist in this beautiful space together for the next two days! #SFRuby

The incredible @inazarova.bsky.social kicking off #SFRuby this morning! 👏

Irina, thank you so much for making this happen for the Ruby and SF community! We appreciate you! ❤️

I’ve never tried the YouTube AI feature to summarize videos but it’s pretty good… maybe in part because I was so scrupulous about making sure the captions were good. 😅

Congrats to tonight’s speakers at the Tokyo Rubyist Meetup — @tonsoffun.bsky.social & @hayat01sh1da.bsky.social! 👏

A talk on what the “Rails Way” is followed by an exploration of @activeagents.ai and using Rails conventions for AI feature development was the perfect 1 2 punch. 🥊

What is the “Rails Way” — different answers from international and Japanese Rubyists.
November 12, 2025 at 3:32 PM
At the Tokyo Rubyist meetup in Meguro! 🇯🇵

First up is @hayat01sh1da.bsky.social giving an awesome talk on what the “Rails Way” REALLY is.
