There's already been several solid replies to this, but I'll add that there are some other possibilities.
For a browserless Ruby solution, you could take a look at Shoes: http://shoooes.net/ (yes, three o's...) Or, try a more integrated user interface with XUL and Rails (see Google for more; the best example I've seen is currently offline [Zed Shaw's CookbooXUL]) Or, what about a richer client-side Javascript implementation? There are several promising frameworks currently in development: SproutCore: http://www.sproutcore.com/ (Apple is using this for Mobile.Me - management may like that) Cappuccino: http://cappuccino.org/ (reimplements Cocoa-style APIs in Javascript) (and others...) You didn't describe what the app was doing with the database, but I'll throw in a mention of CouchDB; if you're synchronizing the client-side databases at any point, it could be useful. http://couchdb.apache.org/docs/overview.html --Matt Jones On Mar 4, 6:46 pm, Zonker <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there a way to do this with a RoR solution? > > Note: This web-based app would only be run locally, not as a general > website available to all. > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
