Spiced Rumby

A ruby gem that acts as a mesh-chat client.

Update May 11, 2016

This gem is changing a bit to just be a GUI wrapper around the core functionality (found here). I'm still looking in to whether or not I want to do a GTK3 Native app, or if I want to transpile everything into javascript to run on electrode.

To get started with the 'core' component, 'Meshchat', just run gem install meshchat

---

Installation

gem install spiced_rumby

Usage

$ irb

require 'spiced_rumby'
SpicedRumby.start

Or, if you just download the zip / clone the repo:

bundle install # to install ruby dependencies
./run # to run the fancy terminal-ui
./run bash # to run the debug / cli-native ui
