Ask HN:Where can I find open sourced rails apps?

Posted by subrat_rout on Monday August 06, 2012 @12:45PM
from the ask-hn dept.

If somebody is a novice programmer (in ruby on rails) then should he develop the app from scratch or use any open source app for his idea? Anybody know where I can find good open source rails app especially for developing a CMS?

Thanks

Check out RailsApps - https://github.com/RailsApps and http://railsapps.github.com/. It's a bunch of open source Rails 3.2 example apps and tutorials. I found it extremely useful when building my first applications.

Not sure sepcifically about rails but I usually go to github and search for the keyword there. It shows me a list of all projects under that keyword and you can possibly filter through that to "watch" the ones you are interested in?

check out copycopter and bcms as well.

Honestly I'd say this depends on your goals - are you trying to learn? Or just make something (either answer is fine)? If the former, build. The latter, plug something in.
