Why be a patron

For a company or organization that wants Rails developers to know its name, there is no better place to be. Every member has proven they run the apps on their page, so these are people actually putting Rails into production, and the employers who come here to hire them read the same pages.

Your support helps fund hosting and ongoing development, and keeps the guild independent and free for the developers who use it. In return your company/organization is recognized on the site as a patron, in front of the exact people you want to reach. No ad network, no auction, and no tracking of anyone. Your mark is a plain link in good company.

How it works

Your plaque hangs on the rails flanking the directory on desktop, and rides the scrolling patron bars across the top and bottom of the page on phones. Every page's footer carries your name. Patronage never influences membership, badges, or rank.

Current rate: $50/month, locked in for as long as you stay.

10 plaques of ten remain. Each pair filled raises the rate for the next patron; a freed plaque lowers it. Cancel anytime.
