OpenSourceRails.com now live
Posted 2 months ago by jacques | 6 comments
With the amazing open source apps that are being released almost every week in the Rails community, I thought we might need a place to track them all and keep everyone up to date. So as of today, I’m announcing opensourcerails.com, a gallery of sorts for Open Source Ruby on Rails applications.
Here’s a rundown of the initial features:
The OpenSourceRails homepage shows the latest applications promoted to the front page, with the ability to bookmark, rate, and download applications It also provides basic tagging and search capabilities.
The Application detail page shows you the details of the project along with screenshots, file downloads, and demo links. Any member can submit their own screenshots, files, and links for any application.
Submitting an application will bring you to a blank project page where you can set its details, upload screenshots, files, and links for that project. Once its ready, you can then submit it to the gallery where it will show up on the “Upcoming” list. After being approved and vetted by the community, it will then be promoted to the front page.
Lots more features coming over the next couple weeks (like OpenID). Subscribe to the site’s RSS to get the latest projects as the bulk of the initial population occurs over the next few days.
Hi!
Nice work for Open Source Rails. You could add Open Source Rails itself as an application! Won't you share it's code?
Thanks!
Hey Marcelo. Good call on my complete inconsistency! Actually the plan from the beginning was to release the source code for OpenSourceRails, the only current blocker is that I dont have redistribution right to the design I'm using. Currently its in the process of a redesign and I'll release it as an open source project on GitHub in a few weeks.
