Playing with Rails Day projects

Reading time: ~1 min ❓Shorter than a Rails console boot time

Woke up, Rails Day site was down. noradio on irc mentioned that the svn repos were up though. :-)

Earlier this morning, I checked out every Rails Day project and started picking random ones to try to play with. I showed people on #rubyonrails. Of about 30 that I tried to run, I had good experiences with about 5-10. It was surprising to see that a lot of people didn’t put a db schema file in db/. (which prevented me from getting too far)

I am going to tinker with more later, but had to get some of my own work done.

Some of the cool ones that I saw so far were, Sheets, Catfish, fischbowl (spelling), and there was one more but I don’t remember the name. I’ll have to look at them again. I was just picking random project #s and trying… so there are probably lots of them to see. :-)

What were are your favorites so far?

I run Planet Argon, where we help organizations keep their Ruby on Rails apps maintainable—so they don't have to start over. I created Oh My Zsh to make developers more efficient and host both the On Rails and Maintainable.fm podcasts to explore what it takes to build software that lasts.
