ScratchyPad Tag Clouds

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

The version I posted yesterday had a dodgy tag cloud implementation that I was experimenting with. I’ve reworked it this morning between other tasks and am much happier now. I imported some delicious bookmarks to populate the db a bit more and the result is this:

Much better!

Did You Miss Me? I’ve Been Camping

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

Not literally mind you, it was rather an excursion into the Salvador Dali-esque microframework of everyone’s favorite purveyor of chunky bacon and freelance professorship, why the lucky stiff.

Hence, I present to the world ScratchyPad, 390ish lines of tasty Ruby scratching my personal itch for a Pastie-style pastebin. (I’m sure there’s creams for that kind of thing, but I found camping far more pleasant, and hygenic too.)

ScratchyPad supports tags, syntax highlighting and textile markup, as well as RSS feeds.

Sorry, no screenshots yet, stay tuned for a later post with those.

Required gems are camping (duh!), coderay (syntax highlighting), redcloth (textile markup), mime-types. It also uses the date_helper from action view, so rails might help there.

Get the tarball here.

Edit: Caveat Downloader… I just flipped over to Safari, and the CSS is a bit sad in a few places :-( Needs more cross-browser QA…
