Hi Tiago, Cavortify looks great.
I notice you don't mention anything about testing... Did you give
this any thought? Personally I'm using Shoulda in my app but my test
coverage is probably around 0.002%... need to spend some more time on
this!
I agree that table-plus can be tough to use. There are some gotchas
that aren't documented anywhere (like how to write the action for an
index method, it's a little different than the show example cookbook),
and I ran into the custom collection limitation too. I want to free
up the time to really dig into table-plus and understand it well
enough to improve it but there's always been more pressing stuff to
worry about. It's a really cool feature and will hopefully become a
real selling point for Hobo.
Nice work,
- Scott
