About

Twenty is a standalone web application with a practical purpose. But it's also a place where I can experiment with a different stack for the development of [web] applications in Ruby. See Design for more info.

Features

• Provides a command-line utility to start / stop a web server
• Connect / disconnect a project from the command line
• Designed to work offline
• Lightweight stack
• Easy to install, easy to use

Design

• The server is powered by rack and puma:
  • Accepts GraphQL requests at /graphql
  • Serves client (HTML, JS, CSS)
  • Dependencies: Sequel, SQLite3, ruby-graphql
• The client is a statically compiled nanoc website:
  • Dependencies: webpack, typescript, react
• The CLI controls the web server:
  • Start / stop web server
  • Run database migrations
  • Run developer console
• Each component (server, client, cli) are separate packages in a monorepo
• Easy to distribute as a RubyGem
