Jump-start your startup
Do you have a great new business idea? Do you need to build a quick prototype to test or show your idea? Is Ruby on Rails your preferred platform, but it’s too early to hire a team of developers?
Starting a new Rails app is easy, adding gems is easy, but you still have to tie all the pieces together. It may take weeks, or even months to reach critical mass.
What if there is a way to skip that first phase and focus straight on your business idea.
