I am currently working on Photoficient. It's a social network that allows people and organizations to ask their followers to compare pairs of alternatives. It's programmed with Ruby on Rails. You can browse the source code on Github.
My favorite things on the web:
Ruby on Rails
It's an open-source web framework that's optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It lets you write beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration. The best place to start learning Rails is http://ruby.railstutorial.org/.
Railscasts
Short Ruby on Rails screencasts containing tips, tricks and tutorials. Great for both novice and experienced web developers.
Twitter Bootstrap
Sleek, intuitive, and powerful front-end framework for faster and easier web development.
Heroku
A cloud platform as a service (PaaS) that lets you focus 100 percent on your application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling.
The Pirate Bay
Download music, movies, games, software and much more. The Pirate Bay is the world's largest bittorrent tracker.
Hacker News
It's a social news website about computer hacking and startup companies, run by Paul Graham's investment fund and startup incubator, Y Combinator.
