# RailsNotes UI

A Rails starter kit with pre-built auth, billing, and ActionMailer email templates

https://topboilerplates.com/railsnotes-ui

Framework: Ruby on Rails | Pricing: freemium

## Verdict

Best for: Rails developers who want pre-built email templates and a lightweight auth/billing starter to skip early SaaS setup.

Skip if: You need a large, established framework like Bullet Train with a bigger community - this is a smaller, single-maker product.

## Description

RailsNotes UI is a Ruby on Rails starter kit and component collection from Harrison Broadbent, aimed at saving setup time on SaaS and side projects. It bundles pre-configured authentication, billing, and test/deployment scaffolding, plus a library of ActionMailer email templates and components. The maker also publishes the free better_mailer_previews gem for previewing Rails emails.

## Pros and cons

+ Includes a solid library of ActionMailer email templates, a commonly under-served area for Rails starters

+ Maker also ships a free companion gem (better_mailer_previews) showing ongoing Rails tooling investment

+ Covers auth, billing, and deployment basics, not just UI components

- Small, single-maker product with a modest community (~78 developers per site claims)

- No public GitHub repo for the core starter kit to review before buying

- Pricing and licensing details aren't clearly published
