Awesomebox only works with client-side code that runs in a browser - HTML/CSS/JS. If you have a Rails app that serves up a "single-page" app (like Angular, Backbone, Ember, etc.), we can work with you to make Awesomebox work. If this applies to what you're building, email me at brendan@awesomebox.co and we'll do our best to get you running with Awesomebox.
In an ideal world, we'd be able to support literally any application - Rails, Django, even iOS and Android apps. But in order to make your code available without spinning up complex environments and rebuilding parts of Heroku, we're focused on people building client-side javascript apps that send and receive data via APIs. This category of apps is growing incredibly fast, and we think there's a lot we can do to help, as both Matt and I have spent the past year working in Backbone and Angular.
