HexaPDF is a pure Ruby library with an accompanying application for working with PDF files. It was designed with ease of use and performance in mind. It uses lazy loading and lazy computing when possible and tries to produce small PDF files by default.

dotfiles is an open-source collection of system configuration files and automation scripts developed by Zach Holman for customizing Unix-like development environments. It organizes configuration settings into independent topic-based directories instead of maintaining large centralized files. Each directory can contain shell configuration, installation scripts, command completions, and symbolic links. The framework automatically loads Zsh configuration files and links designated files into...

Down is a small, reliable Ruby library for downloading files that favors correctness, streaming, and clear error handling. It follows redirects safely, supports timeouts and retries, and streams responses to disk to keep memory usage low—ideal for large downloads or server environments. The API returns file-like objects (often Tempfile) with helpful metadata such as original filename and content type, which plays nicely with file-attachment libraries and background jobs. Multiple HTTP...

Chartkick is a Ruby gem that makes it easy to generate beautiful charts in Rails and other Ruby applications with minimal code. It provides a high-level API where developers can use simple helpers like line_chart, pie_chart, or column_chart and pass in data arrays or ActiveRecord queries. Under the hood, it works with popular charting libraries such as Google Charts, Chart.js, and Highcharts, but hides their verbose JavaScript APIs behind a clean Ruby interface. It also handles things like...

...The monolithic version was later deprecated because the collection had become difficult to maintain as a single package. Its functionality was divided into independent libraries covering badges, gradients, loading indicators, progress displays, text controls, web views, and UIKit helpers. The remaining SSToolkit package primarily acts as an umbrella header and CocoaPods specification that installs those smaller projects. It is best treated as a historical reference or component catalog rather than a recommended dependency for modern iOS development.

CanCan is an authorization library for Ruby on Rails that helps manage user permissions in a clean and consistent way. It centralizes all authorization logic in a single Ability class, where you define what actions each type of user can or cannot perform on different resources. Developers then use helpers like authorize! in controllers or can? in views to enforce those rules without scattering permission logic across the application. It supports defining permissions using conditions,...
