This script creates a UI on top of the WhatsApp Web interface. It enumerates certain kinds
of information from a range of phonenumbers. It doesn't matter if these numbers are part
of your contact list. At the end a table is displayed containing phonenumbers, profile pics,

With Heroku's JRuby support you may have already seen that you can run TorqueBox Lite on Heroku. But, that only gives you the web features of TorqueBox. What about scheduled jobs, backgroundable, messaging, services, and caching?

With a small amount of extra work, you can now run the full TorqueBox (minus STOMP support and clustering) on Heroku as well! I've successfully deployed several test applications, including the example Rails application from our Getting Started Guide which has a scheduled job, a service, and uses backgroundable and messaging.

This example uses TorqueBox 3.0.2, but the instructions may work with other TorqueBox versions.

Steps Required

  1. Create a JRuby application on Heroku, or convert an existing application to JRuby. Make sure your application works on JRuby on Heroku before throwing TorqueBox into the mix.

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.
