Suspenders

The fastest way to build a successful MVP.

Get your project deployed to production in minutes

With a single command, Suspenders builds an application pre-configured for deployment to Heroku. With that out of the way, you can focus on building your product's core features and getting them in front of users in record time.

Leverage thoughbot's extensive Rails experience

Suspenders is the base Ruby on Rails application used at thoughtbot. It encodes 17 years of accumulated knowledge and opinions, allowing you to lean on thoughtbot's extensive experience building Ruby on Rails applications.

Focus on features instead of biolerplate

Rather than wasting time choosing libraries and configuring your application, Suspenders allows you to skip over problems that have already been solved and focus instead on the features that are unique to your product.
