Do you remember the Google+ social networking app working on all platforms, web, iOS and Android? The main aim of this app was relatively clear: connect people with their friends, family members, neighbors, coworkers, etc. The project started in 2011. In the meantime, Facebook already took a vast part of the social media market. Entering on stage should be easy for such a giant like Google, but it didn't happen at all. Google+ was closed in 2019. What happened?
MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is one of these IT buzzwords everyone working in app development talks about. Do you really know not only what exactly it is but why it’s a good idea for every digital project?
Discovery Phase is a deep research period that should precede every app development. During that time, all stakeholders engage and define the main app goal, the project's scope, technology stack, timeline, target audience, and other crucial factors. As a result, the app principal receives a detailed, step-by-step app development plan.
Lots of companies tend to treat their website as a cornerstone. Something that they have built years ago as their online "business card", that they are too afraid to touch. Yet at the same time, 75% of consumers admit to making judgments on a company’s credibility based on its website design. So the data is ruthless - if you want to make money, you HAVE to treat your website as a living, breathing organism that evolves alongside you. 
have neglected that for too long. But it finally changed!
In October of 2021, Facebook has reached the number of almost 2,89 BILLION active users worldwide. It’s almost as many as China and India's joint population - and it will definitely not stop on that level!
As you might notice, we specialize in developing Ruby on Rails applications. Our portfolio is full of stunning web projects, and we have over 20 talented RoR developers on board. We genuinely believe that this framework and Ruby programming language are excellent choices for custom web development.
There is no application without UX/UI design. It is simply impossible. First of all, we need to do research and find out the aim of digital products and who will use it. To do that, at Railwaymen, we organize workshops with our clients. We always want to know about the app as much as possible. Then UX/UX Designer can start their favorite part - app visualization. We can distinguish 3 digital visual representations: wireframes, mockups, and prototypes.
So you decided that the main technology for your web application will be the Ruby on Rails framework. Trust me, it is a great choice. Now, it's time to pick up the development team. The market is full of software companies, and you are wondering, "Which team of Ruby on Rails developers should I choose?". You are in the right place because I'm going to show you which factors are important while choosing developers.
The last year's recap seems now like it has been written in an entirely different reality. And truth be told - it was. I’ve dedicated 
to our presence at international trade shows (there were 4 of them, and we flew over 28 k kilometers to attend them!), our epic off-line parties, and meeting face to face with our partners. Then 2020 came and put everything upside down.
Hello, my name is Kazimierz Szołtysik, and I have been a Ruby developer at Railwaymen since July 2020. Since 2015 I have been consistently writing and developing applications in Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Why Ruby? Because in my opinion, it is the most readable and elegant of all backend languages I have come across so far. Programming in it is a lot of fun, and you can create a very clear and extremely readable code in it. Why Ruby on Rails? Because thanks to creating this framework in 2015, it became possible to develop fully independent web applications using the Ruby language.
