What do you mean by club exactly?


I generally mean a member based organizations, could be a book club or professional association or anything of the sorts.

Not every club charges dues, but those that do generally start off with a google form and a pinky promise that you'll send your dues after submitting the form.

Works for awhile but it's hard to maintain, speaking as someone who's had to do this before. embolt is my go at offering a member platform with a very low (the lowest) barrier of entry to getting up and running with paid registrations forms & an admin dashboard.


Looks very well done! Did you have to write much JS or could you do everything you needed with RoR?


Thanks! I initially started out with just jQuery but eventually realized I needed to support more complex interactions and adopted Turbo & Stimulus [1].

Still sticking with server-side rendering though, always loved that approach to building webapps and tools like HTMX & Turbo make it much easier to integrate with complex UX interactions.
