Introducing the Docs landing page, the friendly new starting point for everything you need to install Rails, learn it, get better at it, and get involved. Take a look at and let us know what you think! https://lnkd.in/eApf7qMz The Docs landing page was designed and shipped by John Athayde with feedback and direction from the Rails Core, Issues, and Committers teams, and made possible by the support of the members of the Rails Foundation. Thank you to everyone involved for your input!
