Hi,

consider using sinatra / padrino which are tiny ruby web frameworks.  
Your  
app sounds a little like [http://www.memorari.us/](http://www.memorari.us/) (know the guy who built  
that one).

Pieces that came in my mind:

- file uploads (your file may be in CSV or YML for easy parsing) may  
simple  
HTTP uploads or plugins/gems like paperclip etc.
- ActionMailer (  
[Redirecting…](http://lindsaar.net/2010/1/26/new-actionmailer-api-in-rails-3))
- Managing uploaded files
- Managing content (like turning some notifications off or modify the  
target)

Cheers & good luck  
Chris

Hey Thanks Christopher,

My thing is like Memorari, except I want to be able to set things to  
remind me say every 2 weeks, or every thee weeks, etc…

Thanks for the ideas.

Alex
