@sescobb27 I suppose Alex didn't find a less magical gem for auth and we are using devise. Did you have a chance to talk to him? (If so, just forget this comment)

I know some of them, I just pick the most common one. Let me know which gem do you prefer and I will update the pull request

I was asking because on friday's afternoon meeting a related task was assigned to someone, but you seem to have a lot already implemented so I'd personally stick with devise 🙈

[sescobb27]

devise is hard to explain and understand, I don't have any problem with changing it to something less magical, but I don't have much experience with rails views, I have been working with json APIs and single page applications for so long, so if someone can help me with that would be great, if not I would try to do that tomorrow's night

What do you think of this option? http://railscasts.com/episodes/250-authentication-from-scratch

[sescobb27]

I would prefer a to use a gem here, authentication from scratch is sooooo tricky, error prone and hack prone

[ghost]

yes, thats rigth.

[sescobb27]

so, choose a gem from here https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/categories/rails_authentication so i can continue implementing this
