[ANN] New Rails Site: Wordie

Rails
1

My latest stupid web trick, built, with love, in Rails:

Make lists of words. See who else likes the same words. Basically, it’s
a dating site. Built on thanksgiving while half-watching football and
launched yesterday. In other words, half-baked, but I thought some of
you might find it mildly amusing.

Love it. Need to add a way for people to provide an interesting usage
of the word.

Thought you’d like to know you got linked to from metafilter here (I
didn’t post the link)

There are also some error reports there.

It includes script.aculo.us JSs…

And it uses slightly aggressive pastel colors…

Or is the timestamp based on Ruby’s unique Epoch or something? :wink:
