RubyStation 0.1.5 has been relesed.

RubyStation is an installer/launcher of browser-GUI desktop applications.

== What is 'browser-GUI desktop application' ?

If you are familiar with Rails, the easiest way to write a
desktop application is using the browser as GUI. How?

  1. Write an application with Rails (or Sinatra, Merb, Ramaze..)
  2. Compress the files into a zip file.
  3. Users download it, unpack it and do './script/server'.
  4. The application runs in the browser.

Why can't we call it a desktop application? :-)

With RubyStation, you can:

  * install applications, which are distributed as RubyGems
  * start an application by clicking the link
    (you don't need to remember each port number of the applications)
  * write an application for RubyStation (it's as easy as creating a gem)
