This is a barebones rails project that uses
Mongoid - for database - no activerecord included
Resque - for background processing
Unicorn - for webserver
Foreman - for running daemons nicely
Twitter Bootstrap - Easier Templates
These are my commonly used modules and I use this project whenever I am spinning out a new repository instead of starting from rails new.
TODO: Intending to add devise, capistrano for later.
