I'm getting ready to set up a website for my support URL for the app before I submit to the App Store. I was thinking I'll probably just do a WordPress site. Any thoughts or suggestions? I'd love to get some links to some good themes, on the cheap.

You could set up a simple static page on github, if you're using that to host your source (or even if not): http://pages.github.com/

There's a lot of WordPress themes out there for app websites. Here's one I ran across a while back: http://www.appdesignvault.com/darstell-iphone-wordpress-theme/.
It's free if you tweet about them! Am considering using this for my app, or using it as a starting point for my own wordpress theme.
This is a brief review of some paid themes. Most are inexpensive. (note: website seems to load slow)

Here's some others. I haven't looked into them much though.

Good luck!

I'm hosting a static site on Heroku for Railscasts for iOS. It's free and barely requires any maintenance.

are there any good references to start looking into building a simple but efficient tracking/event tool? Super simple version of a tool like Google Analytics. I am assuming this consist of two separate applications. One for the front-end which gets embedded into the client's website, and a back-end API to handle the events, queue, etc.
Preferred tools for the back-end for me is Rails.
I appreciate the help.
You'd be reinventing the wheel, but you'll need a javascript library to track the user and a rails API. Pretty much what you seem to know you need.
Here's the documentation on building a rails API: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/api_app.html
Refer to the top answer here for the javascript module: User Activity Tracking or Logging with javascript

I know this is not a technical question but I don't know where to ask elsewhere.
I use the very cool toolkit called trigger.io to develop apps for both android and ios. Now I would like to use something like a database to display data in my app.
Firstly I found a realtime backend called firebase: http://www.firebase.com/
Nice but it takes a while until one gets access to it since it is still in beta.
Then I found a cloud service called Kinvey: http://www.kinvey.com/ Also interesting, but it is free as long as only 200 users download the app.
So do you know any alternatives to store data and use it for my app?
That would be very helpful,
thanks enne
Sure. Parse is an easy option. Basic plan to get start is $0 a month.
Also, there is nothing stopping you from bundling (or download and saving and caching) a json file for use in your trigger.io app.

We are looking for a automated remote deployment system for our Rails deployments. Are there any good alternatives to Webistrano. We want try out first and select which will best suit our requirements.
Etsy have open sourced their Deployinator. It uses Sinatra, Capistrano and a little PHP, but you can deploy anything from it.
Strano - GitHub-powered web UI for Capistrano deployment. Works with non-GitHub projects as well.
After long time search, I've started building Gunnery - a real, modern webistrano alternative.
I don't know if it is still relevant but I would like to come up with a different solution. I am building a new deployment tool that does just what you are looking for.
I do not intend to spam my stuff here but since I am building something that could help you...
Anyway, have a look here https://alessiosantocs.github.io/Captain. I'm gathering feedback so if you have any please let me know.

I've came across a code of couple projects from the Rails Rumble 2010 hosted on Github. But this is just a tiny percent of total amount of projects.
Is it possible to have a read-only copy of git repositories from all(or best) projects from Rails Rumble 2010?
P.S. I really tried to find an answer on official website

There has been some talk of Website performance monitoring tools and services on stackoverflow, however, they seem fairly expensive for what they actually do. Are there any good opensource libraries for automating checking/monitoring the availability of a website?
If you just want to know if your server is serving out content or not, take a look at Montastic. I use it, and am pleased. Plus its free!
It will ping your site periodically, and if it doesn't get a 200 status, it lets you know.

I have always used Zabbix especially for critical web sites. It uses MySql for the database and it has a PHP frontend. Of course it is open source and it is very flexible. It uses servers to stick data in the database and agents collect the data and send it to the servers. It is very scalable with this respect. I cannot recommend this software enough. I have all kinds of monitoring going on, not just web servers.
Check out mon.itor.us as well.
