I wouldn't bother with state_machine or workflow gems, since you have very few states and behaviours tied to them.

Those gems are more for running code based of very many states.

Just take a look at the Vehicle example in the state_mahcine docs.

https://github.com/pluginaweek/state_machine#example

I've achieved what you're trying to do before by simply using an enum.

Add an enum to your model called status.

enum status: [:draft, :review, :published]

You will need to add an integer column called status to your postings.

add_column :posts, :status, :integer, default: 0, null: false

Now wherever you are showing the posts simply query out the unpublished posts.

@posts = Post.published

I added the statuses :draft, :review and :published, but you could have as few or many enums.
