what if... #136

Open fluxsaas opened 12 years ago

you would have an interface where you could create multiple ressources with associations, options for generating mailers, select a visual themes, options (rspec, haml etc),....

it would scan your app for changes and updates your visual representation accordingly. you could also change/add ressources...

it could end up in a higher abstraction level, which would work pretty good for the convention over configuration model. at least for superfast prototypes.

just a thought ;)

reading the article about rails and "Google Summer of Code 2013", i remembered creating this issue here. it seems that the first step is to create a "Conductor: web-based assistant for development".

here is the link to the official rails proposal:

i still think it could be an interesting visual development process....
