Looks great. Any reason why the app has on auth despite being based on rails? http basic auth seems extreme.

The idea is to keep the app as simple as possible - without management of users and authentication/authorization methods. This can be accomplished with an auth proxy standing before the app or a similar method.

HTTP Basic auth is considered secure when running over TLS.
