New Project Rails 6 rc1 or 5.2.3?
Rails 6 should be just around the corner once they fix a couple of bugs/regressions. Since you probably won't be finished with your app by then, you won't have to worry about the upgrade if you start it in Rails 6 rc1 and you get to take advantage of the new features in Rails 6 if you want.
I've been using Rails 6 for a few projects for a couple months now and it's been very solid.
@Chris what version or Rails and Webpacker are you using? I have a hard time make Rails 6 rc1 + Webpacker 4.0,6 work.
When I run my app I get the following error
decode.js:32 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'exports' of object '#<Object>'

Cheers!
Webpacker is currently having some issues. You can check their latest issues to see a discussion on it. I think they're getting closer to having a solution.
