I am struggling to get a jump to develop the logic for some models.
Specifically, I am trying to carryout a concept with Twilio Messaging as shown in this article:
https://www.twilio.com/help/faq/sms/how-can-i-have-users-send-text-messages-to-each-other-over-twilio
Honestly, I don't even know where to start, model-wise, to store this information and how limit users to specific numbers with specific conversations. Any ideas or concepts to get me started would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm trying to create a Flutter app like wikipedia where a user can search and display the information but I'm don't have a lot of backend knowledge so it'll be appreciated if someone can guide me what I should do or learn in order to start this project.
The reason I'm trying to build this app is for my ethnic group. I want to have an app where we can read articles/information in our own language.
My goals is basically get all the article or documents about our cultures from other people and store in one database and display it in my app.
I'm not really sure where will be the best place to store all the article and retrieve that in Flutter. I've been looking Firebase but I'm not really sure if I can store the whole articles and display it.
Just to give you an idea, this is minipedia app and I'm thinking about creating an app just like this.
Any suggestion will be really helpful. thanks
You can use Firebase Firestore for this project. I've used FB before and to the best of my knowledge, there shouldn't be any problem with doing what you mentioned above.
I've been looking Firebase but I'm not really sure if I can store the whole articles and display it.
Yes, you can store whole articles on Firestore and retrieve them whenever you need them. Each document has a maximum limit of 1MB, which is approximately 1 million characters but should you need more space(which I highly doubt), you can always separate your articles into chunks.
So I am writing a rails application for my friends food truck business.
The functionality that I am trying to create with this specific application is the ability for him to update the google map by posting a Geo-location tag on twitter.
A lot of the ruby gems that deal with google maps seem to be depreciated so I'm a bit lost at the moment. If anyone could just point me in the correct direction I would appreciate it.
I realize that this feature is just a quality of life feature but id like to be able to do it with embedded ruby and not have to break out the JavaScript (ugh). Ideal this kind of automation would be great for this particular type of website because my friend won't always have access to the back-end of the website when he is on the move. (Already able to update a map from an admin backend but its not good enough for a business that moves multiple places in a given day.)
anyways, thanks in advance. (if anyone wants me to post any of my code I will.)
So after reading your question, I thought it would be fun to tinker with the Twitter API again since I haven't used it in a while.
I went ahead and created a sample application for you that basically does what you were asking for. It looks for recent tweets from a user, grabs the latest one, then updates a Google map with a marker on that location.
Keep in mind that this was quickly thrown together, so it's far from perfect. But all the concepts should be there!
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the app or anything else. I'm always happy to help.
Title kind of says it all. I've being doing extensive research but having a hard time finding a cost effective answer. I'm creating a RoR application that requires texts to be sent out occasionally to a customer and for that customer to be able to reply, where my application could then put that reply into a database for further processing. Does anyone have experience with this that may be able to help? Thank you.
I am new to web development. Currently I am designing a website where people can purchase different stuff. The website has got a number of special offers such as if you shop for more than $200, you get 20% off, if you shop for 3 similar items, you get a fourth one free.
Can anybody just point me in the right direction what is the best way to do this? Also if the offer changes, I donot have to change a lot of code.
thanks!
You can use various e-commerce and payment gems like the ones in Railscasts.
Some more gems for this purpose are here - The Ruby Toolbox and here too.
As mentioned in the comments, you can use the Saas products like Shopify but that's not free.
I'll point you to some code that should help you out.
For example, " if you shop for 3 similar items, you get a fourth one free. " in ror_ecommerce this is a "Deal". The code is here:
https://github.com/drhenner/ror_ecommerce/blob/master/app/models/deal.rb
This code is not straight forward but basically looks for the best deal an order qualifies for.
if you have buy 2 get one free you might want to implement buy 4 get 2 free and buy 6 get 3 free...
Similiarly ror-e has sales. The only thing you would need to add is a condition for order.total and pass that value into the Sale.for method.
I hope this helpss
DISCLAIMER: I wrote the code!
I would like to integrate in my web site a flights search engine. I am wondering how can i do this. Who sells this kind of service? or there is an elegant and easy way to this?
ps: of course i need the possibility to books the flights.
FlightStats has an API that may serve your purposes, depending on your use case.
(If you want to do bookings and such it won't help you there, but it will show you flights for the next several days, as well as data for flights in the air).
If you need information for bookings, you're pretty much stuck going to Sabre.
