RubyStation 0.1.5 has been relesed.
RubyStation is an installer/launcher of browser-GUI desktop applications.
* Demo and screenshot:
http://yhara.github.com/ruby-station/== What is 'browser-GUI desktop application' ?
If you are familiar with Rails, the easiest way to write a
desktop application is using the browser as GUI. How?
1. Write an application with Rails (or Sinatra, Merb, Ramaze..)
2. Compress the files into a zip file.
3. Users download it, unpack it and do './script/server'.
4. The application runs in the browser.
Why can't we call it a desktop application? :-)
With RubyStation, you can:
* install applications, which are distributed as RubyGems
* start an application by clicking the link
(you don't need to remember each port number of the applications)
* write an application for RubyStation (it's as easy as creating a gem)
