Ditched a hosted gallery for a one-box Rails 8.1 app (built for Friendly.rb, now open source). 9 Active Storage derivatives per photo, AVIF came in 31.6% smaller than WebP, and plenty of lessons the guides skip once you pass a few dozen images.

Why I like @avohq.io for #Rails so much? Because I can create in a model a datetime field and then I open Avo and I can edit that field with a nice datetime picker. No extra configuration needed. And this is not even the latest version of Avo where it looks even better I think
