My First Rails App

Posted by labrat

I've finally released my first rails app to the world. It's yet another social networking + invitation site. I know people are getting tired of seeing these but when I originally thought it up, it was still a pretty novel idea. It just took me time to learn Rails on the side in getting there. It's really strange to release something to the public and actually use it. To be honest, it feels a bit draining to finally release it because you spent so much time in an endless cycle of coding and thinking. Yet after all the planning and thinking, you always come up against your limitations whatever they may be. It's given me a whole new level of respect for all the people who create useful and well-designed applications. They are truly heroes. I'm sick and tired of the endless internal feedback loop of working on it solo and in stealth so I'm hoping I can at least snag a handful of alpha testers that can give me feedback.

    labratz, I hate to leave this comment here, but was unable to on your 10/10/2006 (probably because its been so long now). However I ran your script to get ImageMagick and RMagick working, and everything goes great, until the very end. And wondering if you had any insight on this?
