I love Wallabag, but PHP kills my soul. Does anyone know of another project that uses a framework like Rails?
(PHP is great for what it does, but it's just not my style.)
You can have a look to https://github.com/cantino/ruby-readability
It's more simple than wallabag, I think it's only grab article content. But it does the job.
(thank you for loving wallabag btw)

I have a Ruby on Rails application and want to include a blog inside the application.
I was wondering what's the best way to do that. I don't want to have a link to an external blog. I want the blog integrated in my application. Also i don't have the time to programm the blog functionality. I want to use existing solutions.
What's the best way to accomplish that? Any recommendations? What are the best solutions?
The best way to include one application within another is by using engines. This might help you Ruby on Rails 3.1 Blog Engines
Perhaps Typo would address your needs installed as a Rails Engine.
Since nobody has done it so far I need to mention here that the spirit of Rails is to make everything friendly enough so that you can code your own.
It's a bit more work but then your blog module fits right in with the rest of the app.
I have an existing rails application/website that I want to add a blog to. I would like to access it by www.existingapplication.com/blog so I was thinking it would need to be some kind of plugin or engine or something. Does something like this exist? The main thing is that it can't be a standalone rails application, it has to be an addon to an existing app.
I was looking for something similar as well and stumbled upon Rails Engine.
It is a great way to create one.
As for you, just use this:

Someone already created an app to help add a blog to your site.
Good luck!
Why not just use Tumblr or similar, and redirect (or proxy) requests to /blog to it? If you're willing to use blog.application.com, you can even just set up a cname and be done with it. Blogging is a very solved problem at this point, and it makes little sense to staple one onto your application at the code level.
If you run it on a subdomain (blog.existingapplication.com/) it is even easier to setup and will definitely be doable through Heroku.
I need a Rails plugin that gives you the chance to purely separate HTML and any logic in your views. Views should be classes reading the separate markup and replacing it with dynamic content where needed.
Basically Effigy from github does this.
I am looking for something like Wicket, but on the Rails base.
I can remember seeing a plugin from a Rails enterprise that does this. In my memory, it was better and seemed more mature than Effigy. But I forgot its name. It was something like "luxurious" or "delicious"; does anyone know what I am talking about? The plugin was created in a US Rails enterprise.
Any other alternatives would be much appreciated.
I feel that Effigy is almost OK, but it's hard to find tutorials or people using it properly, so I question its the maturity.
Well, if nothing comes up, I will go ahead with Effigy for now.
All right guys, I think I finally found what I was talking about.
The plugin is called "Erector"
The thing that I like about it, is that views are finally plain ruby objects and you can do everything you can usually do in ruby. I found couple of blogposts:
https://github.com/erector/erector
Why I always liked this idea you can easily see in this blogpost
I want to thank the creators for this.
I'am looking for a good Forum plugin running under rails3 ?
If you have any idea, i'll be glad to hear it :)
It's probably quicker to develop your own than to adapt and upgrade one of the existing Rails forums. There aren't many Rails forum projects as compared to PHP (for example), as it's generally pretty quick to write your own, depending on how many features you need. :)
I started to develop one too in rails 3. It's going to be similar to Wordpress Ideas. Right now i have build the user part with devise and integrated angularjs. I just started. If you are interested in contributing you can find it here: https://github.com/Chocksy/opiniodev-rails-app
I have to add Wufoo-like WYSIWYG form-builder functionality to a Rails webapp.
Does anyone know of good resources (gems/engines/plugins/example code) that would help?
this is not really an answer to your question, but I still can't add comments unfortunately, due to my reputation level, sorry :)
There is exact equivalent of such functionality in Drupal(php)
http://drupal.org/project/webform especially useful for contact forms, i.e. clients happy and don't bug me every time they want to adjust or even to add new inquiry form :)
Would be nice to have such gem/plugin if any? :P
Thanks.
I don't think creating such a app in rails would be a great idea.
Using AR, such an app would be creating migrations on the fly - which doesn't sound like a great thing to do.
AFAIK, wufoo uses php.
