Hmm, Rails, I wonder if the UI will work well.

I click on the different components. They switch to a random component after a while.

My confidence in Rails for UI stays were it was :)

It's switching components every 8 seconds, like a carousel. It's a bit unfair to judge Rails UI by that, but I agree, it's not a good first impression.

What's a better play? Drop the carousel? Open to ideas!

Either drop the carousel or make it much, much more obvious that there's an animation going on.
