A couple of projects or directories in the Ruby community are trying to aggregate companies or products using Ruby or Ruby on Rails. If you are using Ruby or any Ruby-based framework in your company or for one of your projects, then I think you should add it to these websites as you see fit.

These efforts are important for the community, as they provide a valuable resource for job seekers while offering inspiration and opportunities about what can be built with Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

Moreover, it is equally good to show what kind of projects and companies can be built with Ruby / Ruby on Rails for anyone considering learning Ruby.

UsingRails.com

https://usingrails.com is a project by Andy Croll that contains organizations that use Ruby on Rails.

You can submit a website directly via the web interface at https://usingrails.com/submissions/new after creating a new account.

They already have close to 1900 companies, and if you are using Ruby on Rails and you are not there, you should submit your product/company using this link.

Github Repo: Awesome Ruby Places

This is an OSS repo created by Alex Rudall that contains companies that are using Ruby as a programming language:

https://github.com/alexrudall/awesome-ruby-places

To add a company here you just need to edit a file and submit a PR. You can edit it directly from Github interface.
