LazyRails simplifies Rails project creation and tool installation, addressing two common pain points:
- Simplifying the verbose command for creating new Rails apps.
- Customizing the default tools installed with a new Rails project.
- Interactive guide for creating new Rails projects
- On-the-fly addition and installation of popular gems and tools. No more open documentation and copy-paste commands.
