Thanks for the reply. My gut was telling me to do the same. It can't be launched as-is, but I'd say the backend is 80% there. However, the last 20% is quite important. But I think it should be something I could put together. The issue isn't so much what's not done but the fact that I don't know Ruby, Rails, or backend development at all really. Then there is the linking of the backend and frontend with AJAX. Which although I have yet to do it... I've become familiarish with it. And then pulling things from local environment to the server. Again, never done it... but I'm sure I can learn.

It's going to be hard, but I feel going solo for now might just be the more realistic option. I don't want the headache of hiring developer(s)... nor do I think it'd be safe to risk finding a strange co-founder at this stage.

Well, going to be a tough couple of months ahead of me! That's for sure.

A tough and probably incredibly worthwhile and rewarding few months! Stick with it, there isn't anything that some creative googling and enough console.log()'s can't get you through. By the way, if you're new to development, you might check out a guide I recently wrote on learning to code/hack[1], though it sounds like you're already well on your way.
