Hi, thanks for reading. Till now, I''ve used railroad to visualize my models. But as far as I can see, there''s no possibility to add information about the model class methods.

I have skimmed through many web pages, how to''s and editorials, my final conclusion is that the programming language for this particular part of the program is going to be Ruby.

Heh heh heh. Whoops. I've spent a few hours digging around in the source and nearly posted a kludge of a patch I'd written to give a kind of half-baked attempt at getting group-usable subscriptions files.
