gemwhisperer

This is an example application that uses the RubyGems webhook system to post Twitter updates about gems.

Check out more information about webhooks.

Development

First thing's first. Install the gem dependencies:

bundle install

In development, gemwhisperer runs on SQLite so there's no need to create the database. Simply:

rake db:migrate

Before you fire it up, you'll need to configure the application for your own Twitter application and RubyGems account. The config/application.example.yml file will get you started.

Now, fire it up:

rackup

The gemwhisperer application is built for Heroku. To deploy:

gem install heroku
heroku create
git push heroku master
