I’m announcing the release of my first “real” Rails site to the  
general public.

[Too Many Secrets](http://www.too-many-secrets.com/)  
[[http://www.too-many-secrets.com/](http://www.too-many-secrets.com/)] is a site for anonymous confessions  
and secrets. I tried to combine the best of [bash.org](http://bash.org), Cave Canum, and  
True Mom|Dad|Office Confessions into one site as an excuse to learn  
Rails (not that I needed an excuse).

If you would, please give it a shot and help spread the word. Even  
though almost everything is cached, I doubt we could stand up to a  
Digging or Slashdotting just yet, since we’re on a shared host.

I am planning on having monthly contests offering Amazon gift  
certificates for the highest rated secret, but that’s still a few  
revisions away.

Thanks to DHH and everyone in the Rails community for making software  
fun to write again, and to Dave T. for writing Agile Web  
Development with Rails.
