IS there something like http://www.django-userena.org/ in Rails 3. I'm programmer and not UI guy but I want to write an App (convert my idea into real product). Could I get readymade UI somewhere for Rails 3 App?
Take a look at activeadmin maybe ?

Salesforce report builder is pretty awesome - see here http://www.salesforce.com/_app/video/chatter/help/report_builder.jsp.
Lots of my customers want similar functionality built into ruby on rails apps. I cant seem to find any good tool, framework or gem out there to do this sort of thing. Before I start building one myself, I wanted to see if anyone knew of something out there that was similar or could be used for the same purpose.
I am developing a web-based simulation where I want the front-end to be "animated" in real-time--it will be a mapping application, and I want to have little icons (representing the components of my simulation) moving all over the map as the simulation runs. I am developing the back-end in Rails, but I am wondering what are good packages to use for the front-end / animation part? I used Graphviz to generate the base map (a directed graph), but it doesn't seem well suited for live animations.
Something like Hans Rosling's Gapminder (if it's even possible to do in real-time). Or should I be doing something similar and "recording" the data then playing it back? What packages should I consider in that case?

Currently using Rails 3.0, Ruby 1.9.2, Graphviz 2.28.
Here are 2 javascript libraries that may help. You could use ajax calls to your rails backend to populate their data. I'm unsure if D3 has mapping capability, but I believe Raphael does. As far as real-time, you'll have to check out their documenation. In Rails 4, I believe the streaming capability may benefit you as well, but I've not investigated.

I am looking for a template generator for rails, much like the scaffolding, but complete with preset pages and css, everything already built-in generically.
I am unsure where or how to search for this.
The reason I want something like that and not create one myself, is that I need to create a website really quickly with a certain preset theme
I had the same problem that you had, and could not find a solution. Therefore I built a gem for it.
https://github.com/bighostkim/simple-layout
It only applies to your development mode and it does not use asset to make it simple.
Hope it helps.
Rails Yard may be the solution you are looking for. It is a CMS written in Rails.

Rails Admin is great for data management (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete).
It seems to me the UIs of twitter and mypad for iPad are very similar. I was wondering if anyone knew what sdk is being used as I'd like to use it in an app I'm working on.
Check this:

I doubt they're related although I grant you that they look very similar.
I'm looking for a way to modify the values of I18n yml files for locales via web gui, is there some gem for that?
A gem that mimics Twitter Translation Center github.com/badrit/translation_center
Tolk is a web interface for doing i18n translations packaged as an engine for Rails 4 applications
https://github.com/tolk/tolk
Yes, I modified the Newsdesk's translate plugin for using with Rails 3:
https://github.com/romanbsd/translate
There's also tolk written by the creator of rails:
https://github.com/dhh/tolk
In http://rst-it.com we also had problems with finding the right solution, so we decided to make an activeadmin translation panel with interface similar to http://www.localeapp.com/.
Currently we are in design stage (first draft is on https://github.com/KMPgroup/active_I18n) but next week we will have working solution.
I will post here info when we lunch it, but in the meantime you can check https://github.com/KMPgroup/active_I18n and tell us what you think or even write an issue - the more feedback at the beginning the better.
This looks promising too:
http://www.localeapp.com/
I think I will give it a try. Anyone has experience with this service?
