eutopia

Eutopia is a project mainly written in RUBY and JAVASCRIPT, it's free.

A small Rails 3 app that tries to exemplify the most common tools and approaches to use

My current thinking on the best tools and approaches to Rails 3 apps (incomplete)

  • jQuery + UI
  • Formtastic
  • Haml
  • Sass (including CSS3 mixins - very handy)
  • Field tips
  • HTML 5 element support
  • My own asset packager, minit
  • RSpec with watchr (not configured yet)

TODO:

  • Buttons
