Bully to Shopify here for ongoing support of the Ruby ecosystem:

Today feels like a good time to step back and appreciate how exciting a time it is for Ruby. Imma tweet a bit about the amazing work being done by @ShopifyEng's Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team. (That's the team I help lead! I'm so proud of them!) 1/15

Making good progress with porting @RailsTutorial sample app over to Tailwind Learning a ton and lots still to do. I'll finish all the pages first then look at responsiveness afterwards. maybe also extend some features as the sample app wasn't meant to be a twitter clone

In case you find the @RailsTutorial a bit challenging at first, “@LearnEnough Developer Tools to Be Dangerous” is a great place to start!
