Posted in sinatra, tweetfindr, twitter on April 2nd, 2009 by mdwOK my first sinatra app released at http://tweetfindr.com. Uses twitter-search gem with it’s nicely wrapped Twitter Search API encapsulation. Also using HAML for the view templating with it’s lovely HTML output; go ahead and view source, see if I care!
The skinny: this is another totally useless web app riding on Twitter’s popularity – any questions? You can search for @users or #hashtags – I plan to add more features later. Here’s the source FWIW.
But first I need to learn some basic stuff about running Sinatra apps. Like how to keep the app server going! nginx is the proxy server, and I need to tweak the setup slightly to take advantage of some caching. Next up is thin, my app server, and it’s managed by some code I found from @rtomayko called shotgun, but I haven’t yet made the effort to figure out what I’m doing. I guess it can wait for tomorrow eh?
