This document describes a simple Bootstrap Rails app that is configured for common functionality and testing. It includes authentication with Devise, file uploads with Paperclip, and deployment with Capistrano. Gems are used for CSS/SCSS, debugging, optimization, and testing. The code is organized into backend, sign-in, and frontend sections. Examples are provided for page sorting code. The app has been used to build several sites and future plans include converting to CoffeeScript and adding more test coverage.
