I am trying to find a simple poll plugin/gem (the type of single question poll that's usually found in site's sidebar). All plugins that I've found are either too complex (like having their own DSL) or they are out of date (i.e. older than couple years).
Does anyone knows a Rails plugin/gem that handles simple polls?
Have you tried SMeRF, I'm currently using Surveyor and yes it is complicated. So I recommend you to use SMeRF, it is a lot more simple. But I can't seem to make it work on Rails3. xP
What version of Rails are you using?
I ended up writing my own custom solution for a simple poll I needed. Unfortunately, I needed it fast so I wrote it within an app I was working on (i.e. I didn't separate it into gem)

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'm working with a large set of test cases and am wondering what an efficient way of documenting them all is. Right now I'm just using a spreadsheet to crudely record them, so I'm curious if there's a better way.
Looking for something like Apipie or zipmark, which can automatically generate documentation for an API
Check out https://github.com/square/fdoc
In a Rails or Sinatra app, fdoc can help document an API as well as
verify that requests and responses adhere to their appropriate
schemata.
It can help generate API documentation:
fdoc also has a scaffolding mode, where it attemps to infer the schema
of a request based on sample responses.

I'm trying to figure out if there are any applications (SaaS or otherwise) that offer a basic graphical user interface for building out all the necessary scaffolding of a Rails or Node.js app from a flow-chart type of interface?
I remember Visual Studio had something like this for building database structures...why wouldn't there be something that does this for Rails or Node.js?
RailsModels purports to do this, but I find the interface is quite cumbersome.
If you just want to generate the diagrams from existing models for visualization, RailRoad and RubyMine Data Sources Tool can do this. But, neither offer a method for generating models from the GUI.
You are thinking of the Entity Model Designer (or possibly the older dataset designer), and I do not know of any Rails tools that offer similar functionality. As to why, I am not sure. I could comment, but it would be a guess, and probably be flamebait.

RailRoady, i believe its only > Rails 3 though...

In response to a previous question, #Pablo Fernandez suggested I implement a simple interpreter using Treetop to embed in my RoR application. It looks like a good approach.
But I can't help but wonder: hasn't anyone written a toy interpreter to embed in a Ruby app? I don't need any I/O functions -- in fact, I specifically don't want any I/O functions. (If you're wondering why I want an interpreter inside of Ruby, please refer to the original post!)
Thanks.
FWIW, I ended up tweaking a version of stickup to use as a embeddable interpreter. The process was fast and easy and serves my needs well. (And besides, I used to work for a Common Lisp company, so it was an excuse to re-live the joys of s-expressions.)

So I've been using InstantRails to check out Ruby on rails. I've been using Notepad++ for the editing. Now I don't want to install Ruby or Rails on my machine. Is there any walk through/tutorial on how to integrate Radrails or Netbeans with InstantRails?
Here's a tutorial: http://ruby.meetup.com/73/boards/view/viewthread?thread=2203432
(I don't know if it's any good.)
And here's one with InstantRails+Netbeans: https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044104/http://weblogs.java.net/blog/bleonard/archive/2007/03/instant_rails_w.html
I recommend learning Rails and Ruby itself first, and then picking up something like InstantRails. Having too many layers when learning something new can make it hard to know what features are part of which language, and potentially confuse you when trying to determine where a bug is occurring.
