How do you copy all the relevant data? Doesn't this create unnecessary load on your source DB?

Is there a way to copy files to/from the sprite? Couldn't see an option for that in the CLI

Yeah. My sprites never idled inspite of having nothing running in them and had to be destroyed. Ideally there should be two settings

1. A timeout after the last console session is exited 2. Force idle using the CLI

When testing mobile apps, how do you manage the data at the backend? i.e how do you ensure that data that you see in the app is he same every time and actions during the test do not affect the data for the next test?

When testing the backend in frameworks such as Rails, this is taken care of by seed data and DB transactions.

Linear has the best UI/UX of all the web apps I have used. After Gmail and Google Maps, I don't recall any other web app wowing me as much as Linear.

This is similar to how Rails handles secrets - https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/security.html#environment...

In Rails, the entire file is encrypted unlike here where only the secrets are

You question his competence.

> i feel like you have never touched servers/backend in anything more than simple projects (or at all). with full storage/memory there could be an issue that you won't be able to ssh to the server, so it speaks about your knowledge in this matter.

He was answering that.

If instead of dismissing someone outright and question their competence, you had raised specific concerns, this would have been a more productive conversation

runs-ons supports custom images - https://runs-on.com/features/byoi/ and caching to S3 - https://runs-on.com/reference/caching/

I haven't used it yet but these two features make it the clear favourite for me in alternate github action runners

The depot.dev service has excellent caching for docker. It's almost like building locally.

Though the site (depot.dev) focuses on that aspect, this post doesn't.

@jacobwg - Do the runners in AWS get the same docker caching performance as depot.dev hosted runners?

This is pretty much exactly what I wanted (yay for custom images) but the pricing makes it a non starter. Please consider a tiered monthly pricing based on build minutes.

It will work with any existing Rails app as long as you are using

- Tailwind

- Stimulus

Installation instructions are here - https://zestui.com/docs/installation

It is right now only tested with Rails 7 and Ruby 3+ but it should work with Rails 6.1+ and Ruby 2.7+

I built and recently released a UI kit for Rails - https://zestui.com

Built with Phlex, styled with Tailwind with custom built Stimulus controllers.

It's got

- 25 themes

- Dark Mode

- Form Builder

- Icons

- Built in Flash Toast

- The components are responsive or have specific mobile views

- All the JS needed (Stimulus controllers) is wired up automatically

Phlex is a game changer. It is simple, powerful, intuitive and performant. I will never ever write a component as a partial/ViewComponent again.

A short video (50 seconds) showing it off: https://youtu.be/OQmDZddLtR8

It has crossed $500/month but since it's a one time purchase it is too early to tell whether it will sustain since I launched it only in December 2023.

Precisely because it can be used to sprinkle JS functionality :)

Vue and Svelte are great but adopting them means that you are using Rails as just a backend. For the vast majority of apps, the Rails default stack works really well.
