Rails - Aug 2008 - Announcing our first Rails web application: Tip Jar for Your Blogs (Mephisto or Typo )

Hello Rails Community,

   I have worked hard in developing this "Tip Jar" widget web 
application --  http://www.TipMyBlog.net -- for a while now, and I would 
like to share it with the RoR community.

   Our background was Java and PHP. But for this one, we built it 
entirely with Ruby-on-Rails, hand-code PayPal integration , and it is 
powered by Amazon Web Services - and I have to say it was a delight for 
me to build. All the cron jobs are also run in Ruby scripts and 
ActiveRecord library, which I love!

   For my RoR hosting, I use RailsPlayground.com  . Have to admit that 
deployment was somewhat a pain, and took me 2 hours to figure out, but 
their support was good, and I know Ruby-on-Rails keeps moving forward to 
make things better for developers :) , even deployment process.

  For the payments integration with PayPal Express Checkout, we decided 
not to use ActiveMerchant since we need more customization with 
Recurring Payments for our business logic.

  If you have a blog and are interested in adding another widget to your 
blog, please check us out at:  http://www.TipMyBlog.net

  Don''t worry - the widget will stand your high-trafficked blog or 
website since the widget ad codes are all served from Amazon''s Server 
and Data Center.

   If you''re in the US, have a good Labor Day!


Thanks,
Chris
