Hey all, A while back I posted to the group re: improved syntax highlighting in XCode for MacRuby. It was suggested that I submit something to Apple. Today, I got a follow up email from Apple saying that someone on their engineering team is "investigating" the issue. That's all the information I've got, but hopefully that means we'll see better support for MacRuby in upcoming releases of XCode! Also, I should mention this is the first response to a bug I've filed, so I actually don't know how to interpret the significance of their response. Any thoughts on that? Here's to hoping!

Very nice!

Redwood is a "Spotlight for the cloud" -- it searches Basecamp, Gmail, Google Docs, and Pivotal Tracker from one search bar on your desktop. You can download Redwood from our homepage:
We've loved developing the app with MacRuby. Details on the technical guts:
* MacRuby 0.10, embedded in the application bundle * Originally we used the Nokogiri and GData gems. However, we dropped these as the load time took several seconds during the application launch. A likely cause: gems are not compiled like the application code. The performance during application usage was fine. * Several Obj-C libraries: Sqlite3 and FMDB for database, ASIHTTPRequest for HTTP, Sparkle for auto-update, SBJson, and CocoaFob + Potion Store (a Rails app) for licensing. * Search results are rendered in HTML/CSS, and events are passed back and forth between an embedded Webview and Cocoa
We'll provide a richer overview of our experience w/MacRuby in a couple of weeks on our blog.
Give the full-featured trial a whirl and let me know how it goes: http://redwoodapp.com
Cheers,

Just purchased the app and gave positive feedback. I already love this app. Nice job Kevin.

Hey Guys,
I've finally released my MacRuby app, Keymando, to the App Store!
http://keymando.com (http://keymando.com/)
What is Keymando? ----------------
Keymando is a full-featured input mapping and automation tool for OSX.
Keymando Uses -------------
Keymando is for productivity junkies, programmers, and any else who wants to start using their Mac more efficiently. Here are just a few uses:
- Map familiar shortcuts and hotkeys from one application to another. - Use mnemonics to trigger automated tasks. - Text Abbreviations. - Vi-style hjkl navigation throughout OSX. - Automate Skype logins and phone calls. - Quickly insert dates, times, and other data. - Disable application hotkeys and shortcuts. - Pretty much anything you want using Ruby to write your own commands!
Features --------
- Map Keys ? Allows for the mapping of key presses to other keys or other arbitrary commands. - Filtering ? Create a set of key mappings for a single application or group of applications. - Dialogs ? Set a global hotkey that prompts for user input then act on it. - Ruby ? Use the easy-to-use programming language, Ruby, to configure Keymando. - Plugins ? Write your own plugins to command your Mac to do what you want.
Plays Well with Others ----------------------
Easily integrates with applications like Quicksilver, Divvy, and any other application on OSX.
- Quicksilver - Divvy - Any application in OSX!
History -------
Keymando was originally named ViKing due the ability the application had to mimic the vi editor's navigation style in OSX, a navigation style that kept users' hands on the home row instead of the arrow keys. Over the last few months ViKing underwent a re-branding effort into its new name, Keymando. This was done because the application has matured into a very useful product that is not only useful to vi(m) users but to everyone.
Future ------
Version 2 of Keymando is under active development with exicting new features that include:
- Recording and playback user interaction. - Complete framework to access UI controls.
