Thanks for the post! Rails indeed deserves some love besides generis 'Ruby is dead' posts 🥰

I love new 6 version. With ActionText you can basically make your own blog in a few hours from scratch seamlessnessly and Webpacker by default is a great thing for modern web development.

I was happy when I saw ActionText but then got disappointed when I tested it. Missing features like adding attributes on html tags, only h1 headings etc... and they have no intention to add those features

Yes, it is very opinionated. There are a few ways to extend it, but no way to go "full custom" with it (as far as I know)

Yeah, ActionText is just a thing to simplify blog-like sites and CMS like admin panels, nothing more.
