Our own team struggled with this for years, having to come up with clever RSS feed tricks to share items with one another from our various bookmarking and sharing tools. Things would get lost, we’d not have any way of remembering which (rubygem|plugin|3rd party service) we thought was better than another or which solution we should look at again the next time we faced a similar problem.
RailsDeveloper aims to become the leader in knowledge about the demographics, growth, interests, and best practices of the Rails community. We want to connect people with the community so that they don’t feel so isolated. Many developers work in a vacuum and rely on online resources for growing their skill-set. We sought to give Rails developers a place to ask for help, and inviting enough to help others. We want to do our part in making it intuitive and exciting to share useful resources with the rest of the community. RailsDeveloper is our platform for developers like ourselves to collect, share, and recommend resources to one another.
