Sandbox Playground

This repository serves as a sandbox playground for exploring and experimenting with various features and implementations in a monolithic Ruby on Rails (RoR) application. Based on Rails 7.2.1, it includes a pre-configured setup with essential gems and tools to streamline development. Different branches will be added to showcase specific implementations, allowing for isolated development and testing of new features.
