Recently our friends at Artworkbank launched their web service – a site where galleries and collectors can put photos and descriptions of their artworks and share them with customers and partners.
Our part was to implement the very javascript heavy user interface as well as the marketing site. We also gave their Dublin-based team a helping hand on the server side implementation work.
We’re proud to announce the launch of Skatstube.de.
Skatstube is a sister site of the ‘Schafkopf’ Site Sauspiel.de (currently about 77,000 users) — a German online card playing community. We help their Berlin-based team in nearly every aspect regarding the community website, including design, HTML/CSS/Javascript and Ruby programming.
Skatstube is currently in public beta and we’re still busy working with their team to provide the best German online community for playing Skat online.
We’re still busily working on freckle. Yesterday our friends from Beanstalk launched their freckle integration. Now you can track your time directly via Subversion commit message.
A big thanks to the guys at Beanstalk for the awesome collaboration!
I recently heard some whispers that Rails and Merb are going to be merged and the result should be call “Rails 3”. I simply couldn’t believe it–at least until the bombshell dropped on blogs and on twitter.
Enough has been written on what this is all about so I won’t duplicate it here–just my 2 cents.
Overall, I think this is a huge thing for the ruby community. I always had an eye on Merb and considered it more than once for a new project. Main reason: Performance. However, I never made the move. So I’m happy to see that all the corner stones of Merb are going to hit Rails’ code base soon. Besides the performance stuff, I’m looking forward to have a stable API for plugins. This should make it a lot easier and less work to maintain plugins for Rails.
To quote David:
Rails 3 is going to kick ass.
The current version of timed_fragment_cache from Richard Livsey is not yet compatible with Rails 2.2.
I’ve added a patch to my fork of the plugin on github, which makes it compatible with Rails 2.2 by using the new output_buffer method instead of a binding.
Note that the change breaks compatibility with earlier versions of Rails. So use my fork only with Rails 2.2 or later.
You can find the code here: timed_fragment_cache
