As announced in “Introducing RubyEvents.org: RubyConferences.org and RubyVideo.dev Join Forces” — we are in the process of merging two long-standing community efforts into a single home for all things Ruby events.
To mark this new beginning, we’re excited to share another major milestone:
Say hello to the RubyEvents.org iOS App, built with Hotwire Native.
Ruby is Back — And So Are the Meetups
We’re seeing the reboot and rise of Ruby meetups around the world, and for the first time since 2015, we’re breaking records again.
With all this momentum, we wanted a better way to keep up with what’s happening — whether it’s a meetup, conference, workshop, or hackathon. The RubyEvents.org app brings it right to your phone.
A Native Experience, Powered by Rails
This app is also meant as a public resource and a reference project for how to build modern mobile apps using Rails.
This architecture gives you the best of both worlds: server-rendered HTML for fast iteration and low complexity, plus native UI when and where you want it. Having more open-source Hotwire Native apps is going to be value for the community.
Built for the Community
This app is meant to celebrate the launch of RubyEvents.org and kick off a new era of Ruby community infrastructure. But it’s only the beginning.
RubyEvents.org is an open platform, and so is the app. We welcome contributions, ideas, and improvements — whether you’re a designer, organizer, mobile dev, or just someone excited about Ruby’s future.
We’re also working on an Android version of the app and would love help bringing it to life. If you’re familiar with Android or just interested in learning, this could be a great way to get involved too.
Get Involved
The RubyEvents.org app isn’t just for finding events — it’s about supporting the people behind them.
We hope it becomes a tool to connect speakers with meetups, organizers with sponsors, and attendees with the vibrant Ruby community near them (or around the world).
