Features

some features: 🔷 Slick CSS with Tailwind.
🔷 Active Storage for images (all images are kept on Google Cloud Storage)
🔷 star rating

🔷 Ability to comment and rate articles (my wife was adamant about this!)
🔷 Login via `devise`.

The Code

Gems:
🔷 A number of gems are used to render HTML with videos and stuff. Notably, 99% of it is useless since I found out a great article to render videos on ActiveStorage

gem 'html-pipeline'
gem 'html-pipeline-trix-video' # BAD: https://github.com/HazelGrant/html-pipeline-trix-video
gem 'html-pipeline-youtube'
gem 'html-pipeline-vimeo'
gem 'html-pipeline-wiki-link'
gem 'commonmarker'
gem 'rouge'
gem 'sanitize'
gem 'rinku'
gem 'gemoji'

🔷 gem 'guard-livereload' and gem 'listen' for local degv auto-reload. Wow!
🔷 gem 'acts-as-taggable-on' to manage tags
🔷 gem 'acts_as_votable' to manage votes/likes (but I believe I wont use it now that the vote is in the "comment" model)
🔷 gem 'lolcat' to make life like a rainbow!
🔷 gem "google-cloud-storage", gem 'googleauth' for ActiveStorage to work on GCP
🔷 gem "chartkick" (and his friends gem "groupdate", gem 'active_median') for charts on main page
🔷 gem langchainrb (to inject some GenAI - like auto-summarize stuff).
