Dä Kölsch Zähler launched!
Ladies and Gentleman – Railslove and Payango proudly introduce you to “Dä Kölsch Zähler”. What is it about? In the next few days, Cologne (Germany) is going to get crazy. Carnival is coming and on Thursday almost every citizen in the city will be celebrating the “fifth season” here. Almost everything is closed: shops, offices, etc. And instead people will be drinking “Kölsch”. How much Kölsch will be drunk? Nobody knows. So, we decided to count it, and so the idea of “Dä Kölsch Zähler” was born. Tech-Specs: Kölsch Zähler is based on JQueryMobile, Ruby on Rails and Pusherapp. The amount of beer per Table is directly pushed to the other Mobilephones connected.
To be honest: we really have better and more important stuff to do! But this is a kind of “app in a day” project where hacking brings people together. We love building web applications!
Follow @koelschzaehler on twitter, become a fan on Facebook and visit “Dä Kölsch Zähler” while drinking Kölsch on Carnival in Cologne!
Prost!

deliciousLOG – a tumble log from your delicious.com stream
We just deployed a nice simple web app called deliciousLog. It turns your delicious bookmarks into a nice colorful tumblelog. What you tag on delicious gets automatically posted on your tumble deliciousLog. The cool thing is, that it not only shows the links but the content. So if you bookmark a clip on youtube the movie will be displayed. If you tag a product on amazon the image will be displayed.
This currently works with:
- Flickr
- Quik
- Viddler
- YouTube
- OVI
- Google Video
- Sevenload Video
- .[jpg|gif|png] URL
- Twitter (twictur.es)
- Amazon product
- Slideshare
- and more to come
So head over and create your deliciousLog.
This is mine: deliciousLog.com/derbumi – seems like I haven’t been very active on delicious lately. :D
We’ve developed deliciousLog in about two hours and it is a demonstration of Red’s awesome embedit gem.
The app will be OpenSource and published on github.
Update:
API: I’ve forgot to mention that deliciousLog has an API. So you can get your stream as RSS, XML and JSON.
the URL is: deliciouslog.com/{username}.[xml | js | rss]
GitHub.com loves Tagging
If you’re a developer you know GitHub.com, right? That incredible awesome git repository hosting. Thanks to GitHub.com version control and collaboration is nice and fun!
I have to admit: since I’m on GitHub I’ve stopped watching Twitter – the GitHub news feed is far more interesting. ;)
But GitHub has one problem:
Everytime I discover an interesting project I’m following/bookmarking it. And over the last months my list of watched repositories got really, really loooong (as you can see on the picture – click to see them all).
The big feature I’m missing is tagging. I want to tag repositories, save them and access them later.
So last night I’ve built a little greasemonkey script that allows you to do just that. It adds tagging functionality to GitHub.com. It integrates seamlessly and extends the github repository and search site.
All you have to do is install the greasemonkey script and start tagging. Visit github-tagger.railslove.com for more information and screenshots.
Update:
If your using Safari you can use Greasekit and the github-tagger and all other Greasemonkey scripts work, too.
The source code of this project is on github.
