RIDE-ME

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006


RIDE-ME is a neat Windows IDE for Ruby on Rails that will be very familiar to Visual Studio users. It is a good deal faster than RadRails and works more as I expect (coming from a Visual Studio background.)

I also have to say the developers are very responsive. I posted two tickets and within an hour they had been resolved and the code made available. This is the first time I have commented on an open-source project, had a response, downloaded the patched code and then used it properly as an app. Normally I wait for official releases and avoid the bleeding-edge trunk. This way works nicely though.

So well done to the RIDE-ME lads so far. Looking forward to the features they have planned and I hope I can contribute some more to the project.
