We are in the business of building web applications. Finding Ruby on Rails was a revelation. Since finding it, life has been much, much better.
The gamble to try Ruby on Rails was based on how RoR came to be. It was created out of developing web applications. A real world framework for real world applications. OK, the fact that it is open source did play into the decision to give it a try.
In that same spirit of creating frameworks from real world web application development, this site is a compilation of the plugins we use to build web applications for our clients.
Enjoy!
