Redcloth upwards - Apr 2009 - try.redcloth.org

I''ve been wanting to put up a RedCloth "dingus" like you find
on
Textism, but always thought it would take too much time and would be  
one more app taking up resources.

Then I got a reminder email from Heroku that I wasn''t doing anything  
with my beta invitation.  So I took them up on it.  I wrote a simple  
Sinatra app, did a git push heroku, and basked in its glory.

Nothing fancy, but it''s incredibly fast.  Check it out:

I plan to style it and integrate it into the reference manual (try out  
the examples via AJAX) at some point, but not bad for a quick hack, eh?

P.S.: Here''s the app:

require ''rubygems''
require ''sinatra''
require ''redcloth''

get ''/'' do
   haml :index
end

post ''/'' do
   RedCloth.new(params[:text]).to_html
end
