Yippee: Our vision for modern full-stack Ruby framework

What would it look like to build a new web application framework from a blank sheet of paper today? That’s the question Stephen Margheim and I were asking ourselves. We’ve been writing Rails applications for years, and there’s a lot we like about Rails. But there’s also a lot of ways it could be improved and simplified. Stephen and I realised we shared a similar taste in software design. What makes good software? What makes bad software? What we like about this. What we don’t like about that. What makes it fun and exciting? So we decided to build a framework, with all the bells and whistles: models, views, controllers, routing, an object-relation-mapper (ORM), a query builder, database migrations, forms, background jobs, email, storage, deployment tools, notifications, a test framework and even authentication.
