Why is it important to support Open Source Software?
TL;DR
- A Linkup ST Ruby developer enabled Rails_Admin and the Shrine library to work together in the new version of rails_admin, the kind of initiative the company always favors.
- Linkup ST uses open-source software every day, and its core stack of Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, React and Angular is open source, with projects deployed on Linux hosting.
- Open-source libraries are not perfect: bugs appear on a regular basis, and sometimes new features have to be added.
- Linkup ST believes developers should spare no time, and companies no resources, to improve, upgrade and promote Open Source Software.
- Better tools make it possible to build better products, which is why Linkup ST relies on an open source code base in its own work.
Today we are going to tell you about the importance of Open Source Software support for LinkUp Studio.
Our Ruby developer managed to enable concurrent work of Rails_Admin and Shrine library in the new version of rails_admin. We always favor such kinds of initiatives. But why?
We apply software solutions with an open-source code during the development process every day. Our projects are deployed into Linux hosting, but the basic stack of technologies is open source: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, React, Angular, etc.
Although there is a great number of cool libraries, they are not perfect: bugs appear on a regular basis and sometimes it is required to add new features. We believe that developers should spare no time to improve and upgrade Open Source Software as well as companies should spare no resources to promote such initiatives.
We personally use open source code base in our work. The better are the applied tools, the greater product can be developed with their help.
