What's New

We're now on the latest Rails with version 8.0.2! Check out the release notes for more details.

Ruby 3.4.2 is out and we've updated Jumpstart to use it.

Check out the Ruby 3.4.2 release notes.

Jumpstart Pro has been updated to TailwindCSS v4.0.0! We've been running the betas since beta1 and everything has worked great.

This upgrade simplifies the TailwindCSS configuration by moving from the JavaScript config file to pure CSS configuration. There are also tons of other improvements to colors, utilities, performance, and more. Check out the TailwindCSS v4 announcement for more details.

Today, we introduced a new configuration for Jumpstart apps: Just Personal Accounts.

Jumpstart is built with flexibility in mind. Adding teams is one of the hardest features to do later on, so we include it out of the box. We also include multiple ways of switching between accounts. Whether it's an ID in the URL, a subdomain, a custom domain, or just simple cookies we have options for whatever works best in your application.

Not all apps need teams though, so we've introduced an option to focus on your app on personal accounts.

You can now choose Just Personal Accounts and Jumpstart will hide any of the team account sections. 

Accounts make resource management easier whether you're using any of these account types. By associating resources with an Account, they can be easily transferred between different users and handled safely when a user's account is deleted.

One more piece of flexibility for you to build your applications!

Today, we're proud to announce Jumpstart 2.0! 

We've been hard at work improving every piece of Jumpstart, from the design, features, deployment, and more. Here are a few of the major changes we've done over the last few months:

With so many changes over the last year, we think it's time to call this officially version 2.0 of Jumpstart! We hope you enjoy this new version and it makes building products with Rails even easier.

Rails 8.0 is officially out and we've updated Jumpstart Pro to use it. Since we've been testing against it for months already, it's a seamless upgrade. 🎉

We've upgraded our admin area to use Madmin. It's a modern admin area that's easily configurable and extendable with normal Rails routes, views, and controllers.

This upgrade also allows us to upgrade to Propshaft and drop the old Sprockets asset pipeline.

Rails 8 is almost ready and we've updated Jumpstart Pro to take advantage of all the new goodies. Solid Queue, Solid Cache, and Solid Cable are ready to use if you'd like along with all the other new improvements in Rails 8.

We've updated to the latest Ruby and Node.js versions.

We've just updated to the latest Ruby and Node.js versions. Check out their release notes for details of the bugfixes and improvements.

It's official, Rails 7.2.0 has finally been released today and Jumpstart Pro is now running the latest and greatest.

Enjoy Devcontainers, Rate Limiting, Defering Enqueued Jobs After Commit, and more! Check out our GoRails series on What's New in Rails 7.2 and the the Ruby on Rails blog for more details.

Jumpstart Pro is now updated to Rails 7.2.0.rc1 so you can use the latest and greatest features.

A few weeks ago, we released a new gem called Refer that can be used for tracking referrals and building affiliate programs. This works great for providing credit to users as they bring on new customers for your business.

If Refer is enabled, Jumpstart Pro now includes a Referrals tab in the account settings that you can use as a starting point for building out your affiliate program.

We've updated to the latest Ruby and Node.js versions. 

We've updated to the latest version of Ruby 3.3. For more details, see the release notes.

We've added a helper for blurring secrets in the UI. For things like API tokens, it's helpful to hide them by default on page load and only reveal them when clicked.

This is implemented without any JavaScript too! It uses CSS and the state of a hidden checkbox to hide & show the content.

Some APIs use Basic Auth for authentication. We've now added support for this which can be done by either providing credentials on initialize or overriding the basic_auth method in your client.

MyClient.basic_auth: {username: "user", password: "pass"})

class MyClient < ApplicationClient
  def basic_auth
    {username: "user", password: "pass"}
  end
end

We've updated Jumpstart Pro to the latest Ruby and Node.js versions.

Rails 7.2 is almost here and we've updated Jumpstart Pro to the latest version and configurations so it'll be ready to use as soon as Rails 7.2.0 is released. 🎉

Rails 8 will include Kamal configuration out of the box and we've included that in Jumpstart Pro Rails applications. You can use the out of the box configuration to deploy Rails to your own servers using Kamal.
