Loving the tech and the website (and Rails, and Basecamp, etc). However it looks very similar to StimulusReflex (https://stimulusreflex.com), which has already attracted a few users.
Can you highlight the biggest differences between the two?
The call to curl is missing a closing " pair. Besides, it seems some people submit a low-res image at the post, then post another link as the first reply, which is the case today:
I love that book and recommend it to anyone. The only thing I don't really like is its focus on MiniTest when practically everyone in the Ruby ecosystem has moved to RSpec.
If I had to find a reason for this choice I'd say, one less gem to install and configure, and again convention over configuration.
I think MiniTest is a good starting point even if you end up going with Rspec, as MiniTest/jUnit style testing feels a little bit lower level. In the same sense, the book implements authentication from scratch, whereas many apps will end up using a library like Devise.

Is this true? I know RSpec is the popular one in open source, but last I checked the two were still pretty even as far as big name recommendations. I used to believe RSpec was the default when I first started Rails development, but as a professional dev I had seen plenty of Minitest implementation.
It's been a while since I went through it, but did the tutorial not originally use RSpec, then switch it out at about version 4 (along with a few other tools) so that everything in the book made use of the most basic, out-of-the-box tools (as much as possible)?
