Most of the time these Rails app templates are thought of purely for brand new Rails apps. You add your features, and then do the rest manually.

What Andrew and I noticed while we were building RailsBytes was just how valuable and effective these can be for existing apps too. I think that's what we're most excited about. You could build a template to add authentication from scratch, or notifications, or really anything. It's so exciting.

BINGO. I've only thought of templates (like Jumpstart) as "run all these things at rails new and then YOLO" but having the ability to update existing applications is a game-changer.
