Nice. Wonder what's needed for packaging and distribution. Does the end user have to have Ruby 1.9 installed already?

  No, the end user doesn't need anything extra installed. Ruby 1.9 (and WebKit if needed) is bundled.

    Oh, very nice.

    Will there be some deb/rpm packaging tool included?
    • maccman 16y ago
      There will be. At the moment though, linux support is very basic. There's no automatic packaging. When it comes to packaging and distribution, the mac version is more developed.

    How, if at all, are you going to protect the ruby source code?
    • maccman 16y ago
      I'e written something called rbyte which byte compiles Ruby 1.9.2 code: http://github.com/maccman/rbyte http://github.com/maccman/rbyte Eventually I'll integrate it into Bowline so your source code will get compiled automatically.

        Thanks for your answer. I'm very excited about the project, esp. with a future server sync api (as mentioned in the roadmap). Perhaps I then could finally write a decent evernote client for linux. :)

          The sync API has already been released: http://github.com/maccman/syncro http://github.com/maccman/syncro - I'm also just about to release the JavaScript version of the client (so you can have realtime sync between web and desktop apps.
