How to keep Track of Tasks

I just wrote and open-sourced a task management system. You can download and set it up on your system by the following:

  1. Install the latest ruby 2.0, sqlite, and git.
  2. gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc
  3. git clone http://bitbucket.org/hd1/todos.git
  4. gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc
  5. in the todos directory, run bundle and it will install all necessary dependencies.
  6. Now try rails server
  7. Point your browser here and you'll see it ask you for a username/password (the username is "hd1" and password is "December" by default).
  8. Oh, and, if you want to process the data programmatically as json, you can grab a read-only view of it here, following authentication. These instructions are tested on Mac, Windows7 and Unix. If you should have any problems, do leave a comment.

  1. Hey man. todo list looks great. Im guessing this is a first iteration. So. I would say that Sinatra would have been more then enough to do this. Rails seems like sending the army to scare 1 cat away from a house.
    Check out Sinatra.
    Css looks clear. I like the layout and the jQuery. I'd also deploy it to heroku. You will be able to get a better view of it.

    keep up the good work!
