Running Rails as an embedded app inside of a gem
- by randombits
I'm trying to understand what exactly the above (in my question's Title) means? This is taken directly from the SpreeCommerce.com project:
If you’re an experienced Rails developer you may be wondering where your app directory is. Spree actually runs as an embedded Rails app inside of your gem. How do you customize things then? We’ll cover that later in extensions.

Can someone further explain what exactly it means when a Rails app is run "inside of your gem"
