Ask HN: Are startups still using Ruby on Rails to start new products/projects?

3•zizee•1h ago
I'm interested in building some open source projects/libraries, with long term monetization being the addition of paid/premium additional features.

I have a soft spot for (and expertise in) Ruby and Ruby on Rails, but I know it has seen a decline in popularity ove the years.

Are start-ups still using Ruby/Rails to get new apps stood up?

If not, which web frameworks are seeing growth, or big mind share for new builds of SaaS?

Edit: my primary interest is in building libraries for backend processes, than heavy frontend offerings.

Does React have story for backend? I should have mentioned that my interests lie in building backend/back of house functionality.

I think more people than you know are using Sinatra-like frameworks on Java or C# because you can get the job done with heavy loads. If you were thinking about building your application around a schema you'd look at GraphQL. If you were going to make the "new Ruby on Rails" it would have to build out the front end and back end based on the schema.
