If you are not completely happy with the result of your bespoke development project when we are done, we will give you $10,000 worth of our development time, at no charge, to make it right.
Our OpsCare and CodeCare services also have their own simple one month refund and guarantee which you can read in our Terms of Use.
We appreciate that a lot of learning comes from experience so we like to give back and share our knowledge with Ruby on Rails Installfest and Development Hub, to help our community grow.

If you're a developer and I ask you about numeric rounding, you'd probably think of something like this:
We can round up if we see non-zero in that spot (also known as "ceil"), or we can round down regardless of the digit (aka "floor" or truncate), or we can round >= 5 up and truncate if < 5 (banker's rounding).
When hiring developers to build an app, most people want to know the cost up front. After all, how can you manage your budget if you don’t know the cost?
We have resisted the pressure to provide a fixed-price quote and have, at times, lost work because of it. The recent collapse of high-profile app development company Appster has validated my stance on this issue.
At reinteractive we have recently completed a project calling for us to use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to recognise printed text from photographs. It's a fun problem to solve, and so here is a brief post on how you can also set up your Rails app with OCR capabilities.
Tesseract is one of the most popular OCR libraries. It's free and open source, runs on multiple platforms, supports a lot of languages, and its ongoing development is sponsored by Google. It is primarily a command line tool (although there are third-party projects that supply a GUI), and, luckily for us, there are a couple of Ruby gems out there allowing us to interact with it from a Ruby/Rails app. For this post, we will use https://github.com/meh/ruby-tesseract-ocr.
If you depend on your Ruby on Rails application to generate more than a few thousand dollars of revenue or service to your customers, getting a regular professional code audit done on your application is vital.
Why?
Some of our clients make use of Turbolinks-Android to provide a native Android experience for their Rails web apps. This is fine, until you try to use something like an HTML5 date field. When the user taps on the field they get... nothing. No datepicker, not even a keyboard, just a flashing cursor trapped in a forever-empty field.
This is a known issue with Turbolinks-Android. It appears that most HTML5 fields will work, but date/time and autofill will not.
