"@rating 5 "Thing Being Rated" and some comments here"
This is a pretty rough draft -- wish I could say it was a weekend project but it took a few weekends; but it was fun and I learned a lot about Rails, and Rails deployment especially.
So, here's the releasing early part. Should I iterate or abandon? What features would make this cool?
Note: the part of the app that scrapes Twitter is an hourly cron job, so if you don't see your rating immediately, that's why.
- mechanical_fish 19y agoIt's cute. A fine beginner Rails project. First thing I wish for, 5 seconds after hitting this page: links. I want the thing being rated to be a link that I can click on. Try detecting URLs, and/or using Google's mighty I'm Feeling Lucky function.
