I just launched two Rails projects that I’ve been sitting on for a
while.
The first is JobsOnRails.com, which I announced here back in March.
After the 37’s created their nifty job board I decided to shelve mine,
but have launched it anyway because it was just about finished.
There isn’t much on it right now, but it’s free and has a fun domain, so
if anyone wants to use it, go right ahead! It’s at:
My second project is BenPortal. It’s just another portal, but I designed
it for my own use after being annoyed with Google’s personalized
homepage.
Rather than having big XML widget definitions, you can create widgets
using an RSS feed, raw HTML, or a URL that renders HTML fragments. If
you have the ability to host an application somewhere you can create
some pretty useful widgets without doing anything special. You can also
use it to display RSS and show images like weather maps, just by
providing URLs.
Use it if you want at: http://portal.bensinclair.com
Thanks!
