Hey All, I''m proud to announce our first live rails app! http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com It''s not a cool-kid ''web 2.0'' uber-app but it is an example of an everyday, real-world client site. The client in question was sold on rails when in the first week of development, they had a sufficient and very solid looking admin system. Anyway, have a look, let me know your thoughts - and please tell me if you get any errors! :0S Cheers, Steve p.s. we''re Curve21 (http://www.curve21.com) - gotta love the 90s new media name - take a nice word, add a number... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Congrats on launching your first rails app! I like the look. One thing I''m having a hard time with is figuring out exactly what I can do on the site. At first I thought it might be like 43 things, but it looks like I can buy... something? After clicking around I think it looks like I can book activities? Anyway, I hope this feedback helps!

It looks nice and it''s pretty quick, too! The only thing I would add is some recommendations for the lazy, like a days worth of activities in one click if that is easily done. There are more lazy people with money than there are without ;-) Matt. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Anyway, I hope this feedback helps!Ah well like i said, it''s nothing fancy like 43things - it really is an end-client site for a company that sells holiday experiences.

> What are you running that on? Mongrel Cluster? Its nice and quick!!It''s just running on lighty with a bunch of fastcgi servers - it''s just one machine at the moment with 3G RAM/dual cpu. Just goes to show that you don''t need monster hardware to get a rails site started. If you''re in the UK, there was a 2 page spread today in ''The Sun'' (national UK newspaper for those abroad), about the site so it''s been pretty busy all day. Glad it''s getting good feedback - thanks for checking it out!
