FAQ

How does it work?

Rails Designer is packaged as a private gem. The gem comes with a generator to copy components to your app from the library (or manual, like so: bin/rails generator rails_designer:component Elements::Avatar). You can then tweak the component however you want or choose one of the many variants from the library in the gem.

What are the tech specs?

All components are as vanilla-Rails as possible. This means ERB and no external gems for view-related code (other than ViewComponent). There are some third-party packages used for the included Stimulus controllers. For Ruby code Standard is used, and for JavaScript Eslint. Tested against Ruby (3.0.0), Rails (~> 7.0, inc. 8.0), Tailwind CSS (~> 3.0) and ViewComponent (~> 3.0) versions.

Is ViewComponent or Tailwind CSS required?

Yes, those are critical tools used. Want a more vanilla set up with partials, helpers and vanilla CSS? Check out Vanilla Rails UI Components.

Can I use Rails Designer with my team?

Yes. All components are available, via the Components Library, inside your app to all your developers (eg. /rails_designer/).

I am a beginner. Is Rails Designer the right choice for me?

No. While Rails Designer is not difficult to use, it requires you to have an understanding of ViewComponent, Tailwind CSS, and Hotwire. That’s all a bit too much when you’re just starting out. Rails Designer is typically used by professional developers who want to build a new (profitable) SaaS or side project, and by teams/companies that want to improve their UI capabilities.

Can I upgrade for more projects?

Sure. Just reach out and I’ll send you a discount code to cover the price difference.

What happens after 12 months of updates (for Solo)?

You can still use Rails Designer in your app at your current version without limitations, but won’t be able to pull in updates. Upgrades are available at a discount.

Can I buy in bulk (with a discount)?

Certainly! If you want to buy, for example for your students or as a gift, there is a discount available. Starting from 5 seats. Get in touch for the details.

How can it be so affordable?!

Rails Designer is a side-project next to my successful SaaS’. It’s a project I enjoy working on and want as many Rails teams to have beautiful and functional apps with the tools they love.

Can I hire you to help us with our Rails product?

Yes, the Tailor-made UI Package is for that. Need a SaaS/internal product done in one month? I can help with that too.

Who is behind this?

That is me, Eelco 👋 I’m a designer, turned developer, turned founder of multiple successful SaaS businesses. Currently working on my next big thing (after building numerous other success SaaS’ the past ten years), so lots of inspiration for new UI components. 😅
