I 100% agree. I have been able to get started super quickly with small projects using Rails. Such a blessing!

Man I really want better analytics and UI for my IoT apps at home. Right now the apps we use are in their infancy compared to what they could be. I feel like we are in web 1.0 of the IoT apps. And the issue is I end up relying on such apps quite a bit. For eg I used the awair app to change the ducting for my home because of its air quality sensor. Hoping companies like Kraftful can disrupt this space.

https://www.getawair.com/ - works pretty well. but its not cheap. Also its for indoor air quality monitoring.
