Reviewer, please remember our guidelines:

• Be humble in the language and feedback you give, ask don't tell.
• Consider using positive language as opposed to neutral when offering feedback. This is to avoid the negative bias that can occur with neutral language appearing negative.
• Offer suggestions on how to improve code e.g. simplification or expanding clarity.
• Ensure you give reasons for the changes you are proposing.

If we're making a new app, can we not go newer?

[wendelfabianchinsamy]

We wanted to initially keep this in line with the lupo.

[richardhallett]

Why not rails 8?

[wendelfabianchinsamy]

Same here, we wanted to initially keep this in line with the lupo and not introduce too many points of failure.

[richardhallett]

Are these just created by default? the channel stuff is for websockets I think, but maybe its just default as of rails 7

[wendelfabianchinsamy]

Yes those are defaults when you run rails new to create an app.

[richardhallett]

Same question as above, this is default? we dont use mailers from here.

[richardhallett]

I think we should consider the versions of rails and such going forward, but to get going this is acceptable start.
