Looks cool! What're you using for the map generation? It's very fast and elegant. Is there a way to see the front-end or how to submit entries? http://demo.desantapp.com/ http://demo.desantapp.com/ is a blank page. I'm building something similar for a well known fashion brand right now, shame I didn't see this a few weeks ago. Deployment looks a little complex for the average business user who would get the most value out of this, but I'm not sure how/if you can simplify deploying a Rails app to where the average non-tech person can do it (does Heroku or similar have an easy way to click "Fork" and get started?). Edit: Some useful things I've been using for my similar project are the Flot javascript charting library and the datatables.net AJAX table plugin.

Graphing is made with d3 and geo extension - learning how to use it was one of my goals for this app, it looks nice so far but doesn't have all features i wanted to implement, though. Deployment isn't that complex, app is prepared for heroku and actually goes with few commands: heroku app create yourapp git push heroku master heroku addos:add cleardb:ignite heroku config:add ADMIN_LOGIN='admin' ADMIN_PASSWORD='generated_password_hash' heroku run rake db:migrate Easy peasy! Development is super easy as well as there's configured Vagrant box available. In case of frontend, it's disabled for this demo to prevent users from posting their emails - admin area contains only dummy auto-generated data. If you install the app on your own it will show proper, working front page.
