The gems I use on almost all my projects (because today is Friday... if you know what I mean)
-
kaminari
Great pagination gem. I like writing my custom paginators as partials instead of Ruby classes.
-
rails_config
Even if there's "rails" in the name, this gem also works with other frameworks. Essential to have a global configuration object available everywhere in your app. I like the fact that it is environment-aware.
