migration_skippr: UI For Managing your ActiveRecord Migrations

Use case: You need to deploy but a migration isn't ready to run yet - maybe there's too much database load.

Skip it in schema_migrations so Rails thinks it already ran, then unskip it later when you're ready!

I've worked in Rails professionally for 13 years, and I've felt this pain consistently - things have locks, large datasets take a long time, etc.

You can solve or work around this by doing sharding, large hadron migrator or similar tools - but sometimes you're just not there yet.

So I sat down with my buddy claude, powered by Opus 4.6 and built this thing today.

Have fun, report bugs, and have a good night!
