Inferred product pattern

Developer productivity utility that requires a server-side companion gem for functionality.

Review-backed pain points

Users report broken functionality with newer Rails versions and the meta_request gem, browser crashes when attempting to open files, and frustration with auto-scrolling during Ajax polling.
