Really nice to see a deployed modern Rails site. I just recently decided to try Rails 8 out for a side-project of mine (Paranoia RPG virtual table top) and had a generally pleasant experience.
The biggest pain point was the lack of Grade A documentation for the best way to use ActionCable and Turbo – information is spread out between Rails Guides, API docs, and then the Turbo / Stimulus documentation. The actual API docs do a poor job of explaining basic concepts like "streamables", and I kept wondering if I was doing things the "right"/idiomatic way.
Still, as always, ActiveRecord is my biggest draw for Rails, and the new first-class Sqlite integrations are a huge draw for me. I've yet to find an ORM that allows me to be anywhere near as productive.
