Hi Dylan!

Why are things in RoR not working out for you?

Luckily for you, you are spoilt for choice in great web back-end languages. I would recommend you take a look at Node.js/Express.js which are JavaScript frameworks, Laravel or WordPress which are PHP based or Django/Flask which are written using Python.

Take a look at some example applications written in these and see which one looks like it would suit your workflow the most.
