Rails Web App Theme Generator

I spent several hours looking for an admin template for a Rails project I am working on. I clicked through dozens of HTML admin templates on ThemeForest, but was mostly unimpressed with the selection; the majority of which felt like skins for Joomla-driven php sites.

Fortunately, I stumbled upon the web app theme project on Github. Although it would make for a killer web app theme, it is ideally suited for an admin panel. The built-in generators are even ‘admin’ aware. I have a suspicion I’ll be using this gem on a regular basis.

See a live demo of the generated template, along with links to see the various themes with which it ships.

(below: screenshot of the ‘drastic-dark’ theme. Pretty freaking cool, eh?)

A short bit on me…

First and foremost, I am a husband to the most incredible woman alive, a father of four amazing children and in general, I love being alive.

After that, I am a passionate Ruby on Rails developer, a {biking|climbing|hiking|swimming} enthusiast, a paleo chef (ahem…in my own kitchen), an avid reader, and a huge fan of tech startups.

My current role is software engineering manager at OveractDev Technology Partners in St. George, UT. We build custom web applications with pride and craftsmanship.
