I would love a rails plugin which gave me jekyll hosted blog for my rails app on heroku. I would even pay $20 for this.

  What specifically did you need/want integrated with Rails? Do you mean you have a blog in rails and you want a way to automatically port it to Jekyll? Can you expand on your specific use case?

    So I build an application in rails on herokou. All applications require a blog for SEO purposes. Heroku doesnt allow you to reroute or do anything at all to the webserver so your stuck using rails as your blog. The best case scenario is to have a static blog so it serves fast and holds up the dyno for the least. Plus varnish can handle the load as its static. So essentially I want a jekyll blog which commits to my source code and lives in say in public/ . Use case: I write my blog post. Check it in and do a push to heroku. Voila its on my site. I think all this is possible but you have to manually put in all the github hooks etc. Everyone who uses heorku for hosting their crappy apps and even their good apps would use this...

  Not a rails plugin, but earlier this month this was posted to HN : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3428369 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3428369
