- Want some easy styling helpers? Install TailwindCSS and it's ready for dev and prod.
- Presentation code duplication? Just use a helper.
- Code coverage? On a personal project?? Don't be that person, and with GitHub Actions set up by default it's so rewarding.
- Fast deployment? Use Kamal.

- Add a new sub-project to an existing application? Just use a namespace.
- Want to load something heavy only once for the entire app to access? Just use an initializer and a singleton.
- Want to support multiple locales? I18n is there and easy.
- Light/Dark mode toggle? Simple Stimulus controller.
