Depends on what you're doing - Pow was pretty helpful when I was working with a Sinatra app, as it has a really straightforward way of specifying "restart this Rack app on every request". At the lightning talk on Pow at Railsconf, one of the big motivations the 37signals dev explained was the need to have subdomains - since that's a critical component of how Basecamp (for instance) figures out what you're looking at. You can set that stuff up manually with /etc/hosts, but Pow makes it *really* easy (anything.app_name.dev ends up routed to your app). --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
