A native MacOS app for the Rails console
Activepad is a native macOS scratchpad for Rails apps.
Think Rails console, but with a proper editor: multi-line snippets, tabs, code completion. It's also possible to connect to remote instances
I built it because I kept using the Rails console for debugging, quick experiments, etc., but the terminal started feeling awkward once the snippets got longer or I wanted to keep results around.
With Activepad, you open your app, write code, run it, and inspect the result, a nice ui.
Would love to hear what you think :)
If you don't have the means to support the project, but still want to check it out, just leave a comment and I'll DM you a key.
