This morning I have released to public next RNS version (0.241). This is rather major update – routes can be tagged (using Rails act_as_taggable plugin), browsed by tags, routes can be also browsed by user owning them.
Go and check new features. When route is displayed, owner name is link to page with all routes from this user, tags on this page are also links to pages with routes by tag.
Now I need to add more search and browse features, RSS feed with new routes and comments to users/routes. And at this stage I plan to slow down with RNS development.
As for now for this site I have devoted something like 90 hours of work (80 in 2006 and 10 in this month). Well, again I’m impressed how Rails makes rapid development possible… This is specially true when most of this hours it was me learning JavaScript. So I can say now I would need only 50 hour of work, or something like this to build similar site.
