I Want To See Its Guts!

What makes it tick?

  • Ruby On Rails
    • acts_as_rateable - basic rating system extended for use with our app
    • acts_as_taggable_on_steroids - tagging system
    • exception_notification - allows the app to email us whenever a user encounters an error
    • has_many_friends - allows users to have friends, sets up the relationships needed
    • permalink_fu - adding permalinks to the business model to allow pretty urls
    • restful_authentication - basic REST style authentication
    • will_paginate - a replacement for the inbuilt pagination which has been extended to work with all models and plugins / generators used
    • Basic searching system (would like to update to a cacheing version - less load on the server)
    • RESTful routes
  • Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict
  • Valid CSS
  • A little bit of AJAX-y goodness
