The main reason why I decided to enable discussions is that I have recently started work on this project again and would like to get help and feedback on the direction to go with it.

In the last few days I upgraded it to Rails 7 and converted it from being a Rails engine to a standalone project. I believe this will lower the entry barrier for newbies to Rails who might find engines rather confusing. I was also getting frustrated with some of the quirks of using an engine - in particular it was really annoying to find out that when webpacker was released for Rails it did not work well with engines.

With the upgrade to Rails 7 I now have the chance to create an admin interface where the code is included directly in the project. Currently it is a separate ember app (https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder_admin) with the built assets copied over into this project.

I am currently experimenting with building the admin interface within this project using the vite-ruby gem. I am using Vue js with the Quasar framework for this. I will update this discussion when I have a demo ready.
