GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hey, I'm Kasper — I've served on the Rails core team for 6 years & merged 1000s of contributor PRs on rails/rails.
Your sponsorship goes toward more exploratory work and experiments
I'm trying out different ways of extending and expressing Domain Models in Ruby and Rails. Here's what I've come up with so far.
Here's extending our model layer with more descriptive vibes:

https://github.com/kaspth/active_record-associated_object — Extract Collaborator Objects from your Active Records, a new concept called Associated Objects.
https://github.com/kaspth/active_record-ingress — Pass control of Active Record methods to a dedicated object, though really it's about having a conventional place for operations in your app.

Here's a Ruby extension to help define initializers https://github.com/kaspth/struct-initializer
I've added https://github.com/kaspth/conventional_extensions as an alternative way to extend your domain model instead of ActiveSupport::Concern.
https://github.com/kaspth/action_controller-stashed_redirects is some syntactic sugar on top of redirect_to to help with cross-controller communication.
For the future, I'm curious about exploring more extensions and changes to Rails' view layer. It's stayed the same for a decade and nobody's really touched it yet. Thank you for considering me for your sponsorship ✨
