Indexing the Ruby World with RubyEvents.org - RUBY 677

Hey everyone, Charles Max Wood here! It’s great to be back behind the mic with Ayush Nawatia for another episode of Ruby Rogues. This time, we’re diving into the fascinating world of Ruby community resources with two amazing guests: Adrien Poly and Marco Roth. They’re the creators behind RubyEvents.org, an ambitious project that’s aiming to centralize and modernize access to Ruby-related videos, conferences, meetups, and more.In this episode, we explore the vision and evolution of RubyEvents.org—originally RubyVideo.dev—and how it’s grown into a hub for the Ruby community. We discuss the technical stack (think SQLite, Tailwind, Vite, and Hotwire), how they’re leveraging LLMs to auto-tag thousands of conference talks, and what’s on the roadmap next. Whether you're a conference organizer, speaker, or just a Ruby fan, this one’s packed with insight and inspiration. Links & ResourcesRubyEvents.org – Discover and explore Ruby conferences, talks, and speakersRuby Video GitHub Repo – Open source code for web and mobile appsStimulusUse – StimulusJS utility library created by the guestsHotwire DevTools – Browser extension for debugging Hotwire appsHYROX Fitness Race – Hybrid CrossFit endurance competition mentioned by AdrianCamel Up Board Game – Charles’ board game pickThe Overview by Steven Wilson – Ayush’s music pickSword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind – Fantasy book seriesCatalyst (Web Components framework) – GitHub’s lightweight JS frameworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ruby-rogues--6102073/support.
