Blog > Post launch review
Posted: over 5 years ago, by Martin
A big thank you to everybody who has visited the site over the past few days. The response from the community
has been huge with a constant stream of traffic and feedback from Ruby on Rails developers the world over.
When I created the site I was uncertain as to how it would be received but i’m pleased to say the majority have embraced it with
open arms. We’ve had some great emails and followed several discussions on blogs.
The Highlights:
MySpace for Railers
(Dr Nic)
and Shark Jumping
(James Adam)
were two such examples that caught our eye.
The initial announcement
by Peter Cooper from the popular Ruby Inside
blog is also a must read.
Hot topics:
- Recommendation / ranking system – value of it, how it could be improved
- Privacy – spam, opt-out
- Import of original records / duplicate records
Stats
Launch day:
Feedback
Rest assured if you have sent feedback in over the past few days we have listened and will be taking action. We are still in the early days and
are ironing out certain niggles. Two new pages have been created that will be added to over the coming days which should help to answer
many questions: FAQ and Roadmap
Thank you for your patience and continued support. If you have ideas or just want to comment on any of the
points made above we’d love to hear from you.
