Comment Real-life applications launched on the Rails (Score 2, Informative) 406
Ruby on Rails is growing at an astounding rate right now, which is not at least due to the growing number of real-life applications that has been build upon it. Including:
Basecamp -- The original Rails application from which the framework was extracted. A hosted project management application that combines weblog, todo lists, milestones, file storage, and more to keep everyone on the same page in a project.
43 Things -- The "What do you want to do with your life?" application that lets you enter the 43 things that you're currently looking to achieve in life. You can blog about doing it, find others doing the same, and give advice to people who are doing things you've done.
Ta-da List -- The todo list component of Basecamp factored out into a free mini application. Uses XMLHttpRequest and other JS techniques to keep the interface super snappy. Sharable todo lists for every occasion.
And those are just a small sample of all the public applications out there on Rails. On top of that, there's a wide range of e-commerce, content management, business intelligence, intranet systems, and more being build inside a lot of organizations.
Exciting times!
