Hello Everyone ! Wanted to announce the launch of a new, 100%, Ruby/Rails based shopping system. [http://www.rightcart.com](http://www.rightcart.com) (our blog: [http://www.rightcartblog.com](http://www.rightcartblog.com)) It’s basically a shopping widget that allows users to make purchases directly through the widget… no need to be redirected to a third party shopping cart. You can sell anything you want by upload the products onto the site, or, we already have over a million existing products to choose from. So, you can blog about some cool new item (or old junk one taking up space in you home), and offer the sale of it right in context with your article. All of us at RightCart loooove Ruby and Rails, and wanted to thank you all for making this community unlike any other. We are getting “dugg” at the moment ( [http://digg.com/technology/Wow\_Turn\_any\_web\_page\_into\_a\_store\_in\_minutes\_-\_RightCart](http://digg.com/technology/Wow_Turn_any_web_page_into_a_store_in_minutes_-_RightCart)), and if you like the site/service, feel free to digg us too 🙂 Our friends at TextDrive are going to be helping us deploy to a nice new grid container here in the next few days, so the site should start to fly. # Feedback is more than appreciated, so would love to hear whatcha’ think. Thanks ! Dylan ---

Cool, thanks Seth 🙂 Our designer (and founder) was sick of re-designing different clients shopping carts over and over again, so he wanted to make some sort of “universal” cart. A local pizza delivery place is even going to throw it up on their site to handle online orders… and create different toppings as unique products 🙂 It will eventually be skinnable, so it could fit the look and feel of the publishers site. I appreciate the feedback ! ---

That part bugged me too. My mum could have made that in RoR, its not the combustion engine, why patent such?

Actually what part of the site is patent pending ? Rails, prototype, one-click shopping ? 🙂 Op 31/5/2006 schreef “subimage interactive” [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---

Thanks James 🙂 Ole… it’s important to Patent, probably because it would be harder for Google or Amazon to come out with the “exact” same thing tomorrow and put us out of business 🙂 ---

At least, you are patenting something you have built. -Larry
