About Stimulush
Stimulush is the ultimate resource for Rails developers, featuring 100+ production-ready UI components built with modern web technologies. Our mission is to accelerate Rails development by providing beautiful, accessible, and well-documented components that you can copy and paste directly into your applications.
Our Story & Mission
Stimulush was born from a simple observation: Rails developers spend too much time reinventing the wheel when it comes to frontend components. While Rails excels at backend development, creating modern, interactive user interfaces often requires cobbling together various JavaScript libraries and CSS frameworks.
With the introduction of Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus), Rails gained powerful tools for building rich client-side experiences without heavy JavaScript frameworks. However, developers still needed high-quality, reusable components to build upon.
Our mission is clear: provide Rails developers with a comprehensive library of beautiful, accessible, and production-ready UI components that leverage the full power of Rails 8, Stimulus JavaScript, and modern CSS. Every component is crafted with care, thoroughly tested, and documented with real-world usage examples.
