Up to date.: All patterns are fully tested on the latest versions of Rails. Most also work on older versions.
Tests included.: All patterns come complete with tests in RSpec. Other test frameworks will be added in the near future.
Full instructions.: All patterns come with full instructions on setup and installation along with commentary on design choices and why the pattern is relevant.
Diff based.: All patterns come with a complete and easily navigable diff with all changes. All diffs are based on clearly defined base apps making changes clear and consistent.

An improvement on the alternatives

Copy and paste development
is often better than the alternatives

Keeping all your code visible and debuggable directly inside your app can provide a better development experience. You never have to guess about its behaviour or fork a gem to get something done.

Reduce dependencies: We all know having fewer dependencies is better for understandability and security posture. Rails Patterns helps with this best practice.
Complete control: Changing things gets so much easier when the code lives inside your app. You can remove any parts that aren't relevant and you always know exactly what you're getting, no magic!
Avoid unnecessary abstractions: Many gems unnecessarily overcomplicate things for the general case or make assumptions that aren't right for you. Rails Patterns keep things simple to start then extends incrementally.
No sharp edges: Writing code from scratch often leaves sharp edges which take several iterations to smooth down. With Rails Patterns you can skip that step.
Keep up to date in one place: Skip the usual Google and GPT trawl for the right configuration option to use for the latest version of Rails and trust that we've thought about that for you.
Pick and choose: Boilerplates are often take it or leave it. With Rails Patterns you can assemble your app from the pieces you need.
