I just released Yandex::Webmaster. It is an API wrapper for Yandex.Webmaster tools. Now you can easily integrate information from Yandex into your Ruby application.

Read about it in my blog: http://igor-alexandrov.github.io/blog/2013/05/13/yandex-webmaster-gem-and-something-more/ and don't forget to find bonus at the of the post that will be interesting for developers from all over the world (not only those who use Yandex.Webmaster)

I just wrote about how we used git-subtree to share code between LienLog and LienMarket (both are Rails 3.2 applications) in my blog.

Yet another Ruby shootout (round 2): http://igor-alexandrov.github.com/blog/2013/02/15/yet-another-ruby-shootout-round-2/

ruby-2.0.0-rc2 VS. ruby-2.0.0-preview1 VS. ruby-1.9.3-p385

Only a couple of days passed since last Wiselinks release, but we have already added new features to our gem and want to share them with you!

Now Wiselinks supports all features from Turbolinks and even more:

assets change detection;
window title handling;
form processing;
form parameters optimization;

Wiselinks are production ready and already used in several projects.
Don't forget that Wiselinks has demo application deployed to Heroku.

While the end of days is coming, we in JetRockets decided that we have to share our latest products with you.

If you are not completely satisfied with Turbolinks, you want more flexibility and some new features, then you should try Wiselinks. Wiselinks work in all major browsers, including browsers that do not support History API natively. Currently Wiselinks is in release candidate status, but it is already used in a couple of production projects.

We are waiting for your comments and reactions.

P.S. hasta la vista rubists...

I just posted a comparison of ruby-2.0.0-preview1, rubinius-2.0-rc1 and ruby-1.9.3-p286 in my blog.

The most interesting for me seems the end of the story.
Waiting for your comments.

I have just published Gem to work with Yandex.Metrika API.
Yandex.Metrika is a web-analytics tool from Yandex (similar to Google Analytics). With Metrika gem you can authorize with OAuth protocol, work with counters, goals, filters, operations and grants. And of course you can fetch every statistics that is available for your site.

Here is a link to project page on GitHub:

After a couple of weeks spent with WickedPDF and PDFKit I understood, that I can make something better. And it is called wisepdf!

It works with Rails 2.3 and above, it correctly supports Assets Pipeline, it is well tested and it is optimized to wkhtmltopdf-0.10.0.

Just crafted small Gem to make your controllers even more DRYer and extremely easy to understand.

Hope it will be useful.
