    This can be a great help to me when I’m working on a design.

    &gt;&gt; This site has been online since 2004, previously entirely static (generated by a Perl script). It outgrew that some years ago and I&#x27;ve finally got around to rewriting it in bleeding-edge Rails. Source available on GitLab.

    It&#x27;s an useful resource, I had similar, albeit just a tiny fraction, collection of colors I can pull out of my sleeve when asked for advice, but... why does this page has to be served from &quot;bleeding edge server application&quot; instead of being served as static html files?

      The most popular page is the &quot;most popular gradients&quot; page, and previously I had to grep the server Apache logs, insert into a DB, dump an copy the DB locally, regenerate the whole site and upload. Now it&#x27;s all done on the site without my intervention.

      And it&#x27;s bleeding edge because I wanted to get up-to date on recent Rails improvement :-)
