Join us as we explore the vibrant world of tech events through the eyes of Yarrow and Adrian. After an electrifying series of conferences, they’re ready to share stories of community connections, memorable encounters, and future plans, including a much-anticipated appearance at the Ruby Banitsa Conference in Bulgaria. Hear about their collaboration with guest author Exekiel, who brings fresh insights on tools like Active Storage and meta tags, and reminisce with them about meeting a favorite gem developer at the Rails World Conference.
The episode takes an exciting turn as we tackle improvements in user registration flow and engagement. Hear firsthand how overcoming the initial hurdles with Devise led to a groundbreaking approach to user experience, far removed from the frustration of magic login links. Discover the crucial role clear communication plays in fostering strong user relationships, and how sharing behind-the-scenes insights builds a welcoming community. We promise you’ll come away with a new perspective on creating frictionless registration processes and the power of open dialogue with users.
As we steer into the realm of modern app development, the potential of Hotwire Native and multi-tenancy applications unfolds. Get ready to rethink mobile app creation, with Hotwire Native paving the way for Rails developers to venture into app development without needing deep expertise in Swift. Listen closely as we reveal the journey of developing a mobile app for a FinTech platform and the nuances of managing multi-tenancy with tools like Money Gun. With Black Friday on the horizon, discover creative strategies for promotions and exciting personal projects. As we wrap up, there’s a sense of anticipation for new adventures and future conferences, leaving you inspired and ready to explore new opportunities in the Rails community.

One more cool cat from BalkanRuby!

This time we talk to Rado ex-producthunt head of engineering, building his own product - AngryBuilding.
He is the only developer and has a team of non-devs doing business stuff.

He kindly reminds me that you don't always need reactivity, and full-page reloads are good. Enough for many B2B cases!

You can learn a lot from Rado about building businesses with Rails.

P.S. Sorry for the sound quality on these - we are still experimenting with studio recording 🙃

Tom Rossi runs HigherPixels and Buzzsprout - the best podcasting app.
We actually use Buzzsprout for this podcast!
Buzzsprout has a very professional podcasting booth at Rails World. We are recording this episode from there!
Buzzsprout also recently launched a mobile app using Hotwire/Turbo Native!
Ever wondered how a tech company thrives by prioritizing teachability over experience? Higher Pixels' commitment to Ruby on Rails reveals the magic behind their rapid and successful app development. Learn about their trust in Rails conventions and their exciting adoption of Hotwire Native, which led to a seamless, native-feeling mobile app in just nine months. We also explore the dynamic partnership between designers and developers, akin to architects and engineers, pushing each other toward better product outcomes. Join us as we celebrate the exceptional organization of the Rails World conference, making it feel like a festival and leaving us eagerly anticipating next year's potential venues—Berlin or Spain, anyone?
