Will do. Thanks for watching!

I agree 100%. Over the last 20 years, the Rails community has worked hard to address almost every imaginable concern when it comes to developing web applications, and it's nice to leverage as much of that as possible in this new reactive and AI-driven world. The JavaScript ecosystem remains somewhat of a "wild west," appealing to developers with an insatiable appetite for trying new things, often leaving a trail of marginal or bad ideas behind. I say this not as an outsider, but as someone who has been part of that world for a long time and has grown weary and tired from it. Rails has always been, and continues to be, the framework for people who want to get things done without compromising product quality. To me, the addition of Hotwire, Kamal, and the Solid trifecta carries this tradition into the next generation of web and mobile applications.

I have a rules file that is added to the context on every prompt that, among other things, says "This project uses Flowbite version 2.5.2, please use the CSS they provide for layouts and components." When I am generating flowbite code I will also provide the appropriate component markdown files that they have in their github repo (github.com/themesberg/flowbite/tree/main/content/components). I cloned the repo so that I have them on my file system but if your AI tool supports it you can also scrape the raw file (e.g. raw.githubusercontent.com/themesberg/flowbite/refs/heads/main/content/components/badge.md). I will tell it to use the examples from the markdown file(s) I added to the context. In my experience using Cursor and Aider with Claude or Deepseek after a few pages have been created you can just add pages from your own project to the context as examples.

@ Thank you. That helps a lot. I’ll give it a try.

YW! I am not familiar with AI Toolkit, I'll take a look.

Awesome, thank you!

Awesome! Glad I could help, thanks for watching!

Thanks! I have credits directly through deepseek and through openrouter. I like openrouter because I can use a variety of models but if you only intend to use deepseek going direct will work too.

I will be releasing it to the public within the next couple of weeks. I'll provide the link in an video and respond to your comment with the URL once it is available.

You're welcome! Thanks for the kudos!

Glad to hear it wasn't just me. Perhaps it does better with different languages and frameworks.

:) Thanks, and thanks for watching!

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

Thank you for the feedback! In my more recent videos, I’ve started zooming in a bit further. Sometimes, when I’m coding on projects, I zoom out and forget to adjust it back before recording. I’m working on improving this as I develop better recording habits.

@@AIonRails-v9s its very hard to find rails video, nobody does....hope u will continue. If possible make a video on content rating system

YW, thanks for the feedback! I have improved this in some of my later videos. I need to be more consistent though, I tend to forget to zoom in when I am recording.

Awesome! Thanks for watching, I wish you the best on your coding journey!

YW! Thanks for watching.

Yes! I didn't push this project to Github (yet) but here is a google doc with the markdown for both documents. docs.google.com/document/d/1sQGGdrHYvl63FyLwge2guSQ8RoLrH8mflgRJ0g8CFMk/edit?usp=sharing

You're welcome, thanks for watching! I find Windsurf with Cascade and Cursor with Composer easier to use and better at managing context. Aider does pull files into context well but requires more effort to ensure the right ones are available. The main advantage of Aider is its flexibility. For my project, I use about 50% Deepseek V3 with Aider and 50% Sonnet with Composer, depending on the task.

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you found it useful.

Thanks for your feedback. You're making a common argument for distinguishing the difference between user stories and traditional formats, but it's not set in stone. Here's a definition from the Agile Business Consortium: "A User Story is essentially a well-expressed requirement. The User Story format has become the most popular way of expressing requirements in Agile for a number of reasons." That being said, I believe it's more important to focus on distinguishing between functional and non-functional requirements rather than getting too caught up in comparing traditional requirement formats to user/goal-oriented formats. On larger projects with bigger teams, more extensive analysis is often needed before introducing user stories. However, on smaller projects with smaller teams, the problem may be well understood, and the need for additional ceremony is minimal.

@ hmm good points. I like your ideas here and would agree with the premise.

Thanks and thanks for the feedback. My latest videos are getting shorter. I agree with your assessment.

Thanks! A video on Kamal is on my list! I am working on a series that goes into more technical detail on Hotwire and Kamal. Both are impressive technologies that take Rails 8 to a new level.

In my opinion, successful developers will need to adapt and embrace new skills. There will be significant opportunities for those who can communicate effectively with business stakeholders to establish solid application requirements. Developers will also need to master the skill of translating those requirements into a format (prompts) that AI models can understand to deliver optimal results. Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate code at remarkable speeds, but the quality of that code ranges from unusable to mind-blowing. The difference lies in understanding what individual models excel at, selecting the right model for the task, and crafting prompts that maximize effectiveness. The most productive developers have always been, and will continue to be the most sought after. However, the definition of productivity is evolving, whether we choose to adapt to it or not.

There will also be a lot of opportunity for those who learn how to help organizations leverage AI to optimize their workflows. Writing agents, training models, and leveraging RAG to make data more accessible.

You're welcome! Windsurf is amazing. Thanks for watching.

Definitely, I plan to use it on more projects going forward.

Thanks! It is quite impressive.

I will, thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and for the feedback! I nixed the background video and zoomed in a bit more on my newer videos. I am gradually improving my equipment and video editing skills.

Thanks! I agree.

Your're welcome! I am glad you found it useful.

Cool, thanks!

Thanks! If it isn't obvious I am really enjoying Flowbite. It works very well with the modern Rails stack.

Hi Zoltán! If you are still considering adding this to the site I created a new video that may be more suitable. ruclips.net/video/IWczFdqUcWg/видео.html

You are welcome, thanks for watching. I plan to enhance this application with rails authentication and some additional components in an upcoming video.

Thanks! Yep, the audio has been horrible but I have a new microphone now so it should be a lot better.

Thanks! I am working on that video right now actually. I had a few people request it. I should have it out today or tomorrow.

Thanks! Yes I will. I will add them to github and reply here when they are available.

Hi! I am using import maps for most of my projects though I have also used esbuild successfully. I am using the turbo build of flowbite (flowbite.turbo.min.js) which has the turbo hooks that handle the data-attribute event binding after turbo page updates. Otherwise, the binding only occurs on the initial page load and is lost when the components are reloaded. This re-binding can be handled manually too with stimulus if you prefer handling it explicitly. For import maps I downloaded the JS and CSS files for the latest flowbite version and put them in the correct directories under the vendor folder. The JS file needs to be added to importmap.rb and imported in application.js and the CSS stylesheet tag added to applicaiton.html.erb. I am working on a video where I go over setting up a Rails 8 project with flowbite & tailwind and demonstrate how to use a few components. I hope to have that video done in the next day or two.

Yw, exciting indeed. Thanks for the kudos. I just pushed the cursor version of this project to github, the requirements are here: github.com/sandnap/vesta/blob/main/requirements/application_gen_prompt.md.

Thanks for watching and providing feedback! After watching the video back on a smaller screen I agree with your suggestion. I have half of a video recorded using the same technique but going forward I will maximize the editor. 🙏

Thanks! I have been experimenting with this combination and so far I am impressed. I plan to create more videos as I discover new and better ways to leverage AI with Rails.
