Day After Startup Weekend

November 12, 2007

I’m about to head to work after 2 1/2 long days and nights of Startup Weekend, but I wanted to make sure I at least posted something about it. I’m sure I’ll have more to say about it as I replay all the events in head, but overall it was a blast. It [...]

If you’re building a Ruby on Rails application and are in need of some forums functionality, you’ve most likely have looked into Beast.
