## What it is
GoRails App Template is a free, open-source Rails application template that jumpstarts new Ruby on Rails apps with sensible defaults like Devise authentication, OAuth social logins, an admin panel (Madmin), and ActionCable setup. It has since evolved into the commercial Jumpstart Pro SaaS template, which adds payments, team accounts, TailwindCSS, and APIs.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a new ruby on rails app with authentication and oauth
- rails saas starter template with payments and teams
- add social login to a new rails project quickly
- generate a rails app with tailwind and hotwire preconfigured
- set up an admin dashboard for a rails app
- start a multitenant rails application with accounts

## When to choose
- you want a free, MIT-licensed Rails template with auth, OAuth, and admin basics
- you're starting a new Rails app and want opinionated defaults without building boilerplate yourself
- you prefer assembling your own stack on top of a simple template

## When to avoid
- you need payments, team accounts, invoicing, or Hotwire Native - those are only in the paid Jumpstart Pro product
- you're not using Ruby on Rails
- you want a fully maintained, actively updated template - this repo has evolved into Jumpstart Pro and sees limited standalone development

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: auth, web-framework, ui-components, css-framework, middleware, plugin-system
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools, e-commerce, self-hosted
- platform: ruby, cross-platform
- tags: boilerplate, rails-template, saas-starter, jumpstart, multitenancy, payments, tailwindcss, hotwire, devise, stripe, oauth, admin-dashboard, web-server
