I have built a lot of SaaS Rails apps over the last decade+...and agents are making their way into my workflow more then ever. So I decided I wanted a starter that picks a LOT of vanilla Rails flavors, a little bit of battle tested additions and a lot of agent discoverable context so new features and changes tend to stay inside the guard rails.

Building tools for engineering teams running a bajillion Claude Code sessions, I kept hitting the same problem. To build the apps I wanted, I needed long-running processes that could scale to 0 when idle, resume quickly and retain their files and context. That meant I had to own the machine lifecycle, sandbox setup, credential handling, and communications plumbing. A bunch of stuff that isn't core to the products I wanted to build, but I needed all of it to make the product work. After several attempts to build directly on Fly Machines and reimplement this layer in each app, I threw my handsβ¦

Hi! Every month the "Who Wants to Be Hired?" and "Who's Hiring?" Threads come through I would think to myself, "there should be a match maker for these two threads". So I had abacus.ai whip one up.

The result is two views: jobs-by-user and user-by-jobs. If you've submitted a post to this month's 'Who Wants to Be Hired?", you can find your matching job listiβ¦

I've been building quite a few POCs that use LLMs at work, and something that always comes up is: "OK, how much are we paying for X?" Or the one that follows right after: "If we use another model, would that be cheaper?" So far, what we've used are hardcoded files or keeping the data in our DB. This won't hold when moving to prod. It also keeps us very limited when it comes to creating price comparisons across different models/providers. indextkn came from that.
