Pagy is a high-performance, agnostic pagination library for Ruby web applications (Rails, Sinatra, Rack) and any Ruby collection. It provides multiple pagination techniques: offset, keyset (cursor-based), countless (no total count), countish (cached count), calendar (time-based), and search backend integrations (Elasticsearch, Meilisearch, Searchkick, Typesense). The gem includes a rich set of view helpers for pagination navigation (series, input, limit, info) with Bootstrap, Bulma, and Tailwind CSS support, plus client-side JavaScript for responsive and interactive navs. Its architecture is modular: paginators and helpers are loaded on demand via a deferred loading pattern, and abilities (shiftable, rangeable, countable, linkable) are composed into paginator classes. The codebase is thoroughly tested (100% line/branch coverage, unit, API, and E2E tests) and highly optimized for speed and memory. It also provides a CLI, dev tools (PagyWand for CSS customization, Pagy AI assistant), and extensive documentation. The library is not a data research project; it is a production-ready software component.
DevDocs is a web application that aggregates and serves API documentation for hundreds of programming languages, frameworks, and tools in a unified, searchable, offline-capable interface. The backend is a Ruby/Sinatra server that provides the static assets and a minimal API, while the frontend is a custom JavaScript single-page application with client-side search, keyboard navigation, and a service worker for offline access. The core data generation pipeline consists of Ruby scrapers that fetch documentation pages from official sources, apply a chain of filters (HTML cleaning, entry extraction, URL normalization, image optimization), and produce normalized JSON indexes and cached pages stored on disk. The architecture is largely monolithic with a strong separation between the scraping pipeline (lib/docs) and the frontend (assets/javascripts). While primarily an application, it contains a substantial data engineering component in its scraper/filter system, which is reusable and generalizable for other documentation aggregation projects.
This repository hosts the static website and documentation for the Sinatra web framework. It is built with Jekyll for content generation and uses Gulp for asset processing (Sass compilation, autoprefixing, CSS purification, and JavaScript minification). The site includes documentation, blog posts, release notes, and a showcase of applications built with Sinatra. A Rakefile synchronizes documentation from the upstream Sinatra and Sinatra::Contrib gems to ensure the site stays up-to-date. The architecture follows a standard static site structure with reusable layouts, includes, and asset pipelines.
SequenceServer is a Ruby/Sinatra web application that provides a graphical interface for running NCBI BLAST+ and DIAMOND sequence similarity searches against custom databases. It manages BLAST database formatting, job submission with background execution, result parsing, and interactive visualization of alignments using D3.js and Circos-style plots. The backend uses a thread pool for concurrent job processing, YAML-based job persistence, and a plugin system for extensibility. The frontend is built with React and includes components for database selection, query input, and result exploration with export to SVG/PNG. The application is designed for bioinformatics researchers who need a self-hosted BLAST server with a modern web UI, supporting multiple BLAST programs (blastn, blastp, blastx, tblastn, tblastx) and DIAMOND. It includes comprehensive test suites for multiple BLAST versions and CI/CD pipelines for Docker and AppImage deployment.
