This is awesome. I love what Daniel is doing with RailsAppComposer.

I am using the Stripe version of this app with an app I am building at the moment.

RailsAppComposer has become an integral part of my toolchain. Can't speak highly enough of it.


The Rails Composer tool now offers a choice of Stripe or Recurly when you choose to generate a membership/subscription/saas application. There's a "crazy deep" (as @peterc likes to say) tutorial for each version.

Comparing Stripe and Recurly: It's faster to get going with Stripe (no merchant account required) but Recurly appears to offer more automated customer retention features (no need to implement webhooks to send dunning emails).



I can't connect, is it down?


It's hosted on GitHub so not likely it's down.



Oh you mean the GitHub that is having a scheduled maintenance right now? :D


That'd be the one. I guess I'll call this a "soft launch" of the new project.
