Granadajs Hacknight Uno

Ideas for app

• Shopping - a shopping list app, maybe with phonegap. Web/phone sync.
• Tapatracker - categorize, describe, photos?, location tapa tracker. "Do I want asian noodles or oxtail? I'll check tapatracker!"
• Unlikeable - a facebook app that checks which of your friends liked things that you disliked. I don't know if this is possible. It probably is.
• SoundCloud playlist creator

thanks Aaron for keeping it simple for me :)

getting RoR running via RVM. is that the way to go?

@vemv I use rbenv but there is probably more docs on rvm. I use rbenv because there's less magic but it's a bit harder to install unless you are using OSX. If you're running OSX you can use homebrew and type brew install rbenv ruby-build and after they are installed rbenv install 1.9.3-p194 to get the latest ruby. The other way is to clone the rbenv repo into $HOME/.rbenv, then create a folder called $HOME/.rbenv/plugins then clone the ruby-build repo in there git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build ~/.rbenv/plugins/

For anyone interested on getting a bit of a head start on Angular.js, here are a few screencasts. Looks pretty interesting, I am looking forward to it.

rbenv looks saner, will give it a try. managing versions particularly interests me because of JRuby - as a JVM guy I should try it out sooner or later.

Thanks! curious to know how for can one get in Ruby as for all things concurrency - that is one of my favorite topics in programming.

rbenv was pleasing to install. having to constanty run the rehash command sucks tho. http://www.stehem.net/2012/05/08/how-to-install-ruby-with-rbenv-on-ubuntu-12-04.html

K, I've added in spinach add omniauth. There's a spinach scenario for signup in tapatracker-server/features/scenarios/. It's currently setup for facebook connect but it's easy to switch to any oauth provider. I've added Getting started instructions to readme, it tells you how to get set up with poltergeist and facebook connect.

@vemv I find that I don't have to run rbenv rehash very often. I have aliased it to rr just in case but one must only run it when one installs new binaries which is mostly just on a new app generation or update.
I also have a bunch of bundler aliases like be, bu, bo etc. for bundle exec, bundle update, bundle open etc. I also have r aliased to bundle exec rails so I can do things like r g model Foo which I find saves me a lot of annoyances.

@opsb great!

@hcarreras I just added you to the organization.

@hcarreras send me an email at hello@granadajs.com so I can add you to the dropbox (please).

OK, after a couple of hours trying to get phonegap 2.0 to deploy to my iphone I gave up. 2.1 is the way forwards! I did a fresh install, set build options to Build Active Architecture Only and it worked first time.

@opsb did it build in the simulator?

@opsb I'll try on my mini

2.0 built in the simulator but wouldn't deploy to my iphone. 2.1 seems a lot more stable so far. Been having a play and it seems solid.

do I need this pow thing (I don't own a Mac) or can one get away without it? really don't know what is it exactly for.

No, you don't need pow. It's looking like we're not going to use oauth as it's difficult to use with phone gap. We want to concentrate on adding the features for taking photos/rating tapas etc so we'll do something simpler (sign up with username/password etc.).
