Brute Squad

MIRACLE MAX

“Get away, I’m telling you, or I call the Brute Squad.”

FEZZIK

“I’m on the Brute Squad.”

MIRACLE MAX

“You are the brute squad.”

I’m kind of sick of Rails authentication stacks that try to be all things to all people, except in one little area where their authors are stubborn and opinionated.

So I thought I’d build another one.

Goals

• Works out of the box

• …with Rails 2 and 3

• …and any ORM (within reason)

• …as modularly and unobtrusively as possible

Ungoals

• Flexibility for flexibility’s sake

• Endless configuration options

• Stuff that isn’t specifically authentication (e.g. user management)
