Has anyone created any widgets using Rails? I would like to be able  
to make one of those nice little links that someone can paste on their  
html page and get a little part of my rails app to show on their  
page. I googled around, but can’t find anything. Any help would be  
greatly appreciated.

I think Snipperoo ( [Login](http://snipperoo.com/login) ) does that, and is built  
with rails. The author might offer you some tips (

Kind regards,

Chris,  
Thanks for the info. I can’t seem to find anything about it. I will  
definately be posting on my blog when I do.
