Spin up well-configured Rails apps in minutes rather than hours. A personal-flavored fork of Gypsum, which itself was a fork of Prologue.
$ gem install shinkansen
$ shinkansen new some_project
$ cd some_project
$ rails s
A git repository is initialized and commit to after generating the initial stock Rails app. You can get a sense for which configuration changes Shinkansen has made by doing:
$ git diff
Once you've reviewed those changes and are satisfied, you should do an initial:
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m "Initial commit from Shinkansen."

All generated ERB files are converted to Haml.
Authentication and authorization are provided by devise and cancan. We've also kept Quickleft's out-of-the-box implementation for users having many roles and simple checking of roles like so:
user.is?(:admin)
A sample admin user (admin@example.org) and regular user (user@example.org) is created as well. The password for both accounts is password!
Customers can manage their data easily using rails_admin.
Format your times and dates naturally with stamp:
%p You last signed in on #{current_user.last_sign_in_at.stamp('Saturday, January 1, 2012')}
Present grammatically correct possessives like Andrew's and Silas' with possessive:
%h2= #{user.name.possessive} Friends
Fetch random records using randumb
@five_friends = user.friends.random(5)
Use CSS3 with confidence with bourbon's Sass mixins.
Converting Markdown to HTML is a great way to let users format their content, which I use BlueCloth for.
.content
= BlueCloth.new(@user.profile).to_html.html_safe
We typically just role that into a markdown() view helper, but haven't included that yet.
In addition to including paperclip by default, I also include paperclip-s3 which means you don't need any configuration code for file attachments to work on Heroku. Instead, just create a bucket and register the details like so:
heroku config:add S3_BUCKET=your_bucket_name
heroku config:add S3_KEY=your_access_key
heroku config:add S3_SECRET=your_secret_key
Write code that scales better with delayed_job.
Find out which validation errors you users run into again-and-again with tripwire_notifier.

Automatic in-browser refreshing on page save with guard-livereload and rack-livereload. When you have a guard process running from the project directory, pages will automatically refresh when you save Haml, assets, view helpers, locales, etc.
$ guard
That's what friendly_id is for. (Note to self, I should add this to users by default as an example.)
