Introducing Rails One Click for Mac os X (I need your help!)

Comments

Rails one Click is not ready yet, but you can already start contributing!

Here’s how you people can help:

  • download and try the app (there’s a video linked in the README)
  • contribute directly to the code. If you’re not into Cocoa, please look into the scripts folder to see if everything makes sense
  • discuss about app usability (this is very important, but keep in mind this is targeted at beginners, I don’t want to end up with multiple rubies for example)
  • Open issues on Github!
  • Create an icon if you’re into that sort of things!

UI will be worked on later, for now I want to get a decent first version done.
