Today, I switched BigNumbr from a SCGI-based deployment to Mongrel and the performance boost is just amazing.
Mongrel is the deployment architecture of choice for Rails applications. It’s more than recommended!
We’re getting close to a public beta now. We’ve been working today to cut any feature that didn’t work and that is not essential to the beta.
We also worked on the front page of BigNumbr. A fun and addictive one. The front page simply shows a random number every 5 seconds. It’s like watching a TV feed.
More interesting, this design is already webclip compliant!
