One of the toughest parts of building an MVP isn't coming up with the idea, it's getting something functional out the door without drowning in boilerplate code. Every hour spent writing controllers, setting up authentication, and plugging in authorization logic is an hour not spent validating the actual product. Rhino exists to cut that overhead. It's an abstraction layer on top of Ruby on Rails designed specifically to help you move fast, handle the boring parts, and still leave room for custom logic when you need it.

The Rhino Notifications module (rhino_project_notifications) is a Rails engine that wraps and extends the activity_notification gem (v2.3.3) to provide a complete notification system for Rhino-based applications. It provides both backend (Rails API) and frontend (React) components for managing user notifications.

This guide will first explain the base activity_notification gem capabilities, then detail what Rhino adds on top, and finally walk through setup and usage.
