scRUBYt! Get Plugins!

A look at the biggest change so far in the upcoming gem release (currently available in the skimr branch on github though) of scRUBYt! Now with the the new plugin architecture for output, you can build a web spider/scraper and export the results to any format you want. And it’s not much more difficult that specifying before filters on a controller in Rails. I’m hoping we can shortly release a similar scheme for the actual browsing engine so people can substitute out Mechanize for whatever alternatives they might like (such as Firefox for AJAX scraping like in the current release).

Damn guys, you become fucking annoying with daily posts on scRUBYt thing!

RubyFlow is a community site and it should be kept that way. If someone’s posting is boring or spammish, you should post something interesting to counteract it.

Wow, chill man - if you are not interested in scRUBYt! posts (and we only wish we could work fast enough to produce daily posts) please just ignore them, go to some other community site, or just relax. I am not interested in the majority of the articles here either, so what? Should I start to rail against everybody who commits the crime of posting annoying (to me) posts daily? No, I am glad for the articles that I can learn something new from, and ignore the rest. So simple.

Alexey,

Sorry you feel that way, there are others that have enjoyed the tutorials. I guess you can’t please all the people all the time.

Suffice to say it’s been a busy fortnight and I’m burnt out, so this is the last you’ll see for a little bit.

Alexey - everyday is a bit of an exaggeration man - if your so bothered get a greasemonkey script to block out the things you don’t want to see on the net. Spam, Porn and oh scRUBYt.

It’s nice to see activity on this project - it’s awesome and needed some tidied releases for new stuff.

Hope to see more messages daily of the progress!

I definitely wouldn’t want to see daily posts about a single project here, but I think this post was good and I’ve enjoyed the updates on scRUBYt! lately.

I count 2 out of the last 10 days (as I thought 10 a nice round sample number). Did I miss something, somehow? If scRUBYt posts were a city in one of the United States, and “things that happen every day” were the state of California, scRUBYt posts would be Indianapolis, Indiana. Not even close.
