Thanks Jason. I’m glad that I’m on RoR too. :D

And I can’t wait either for next BookJetty release. It’s getting really close…I’m very excited, hopefully can finish it by end of this week.

Can’t wait to see this site in rails!

I started with rails right at the beginning when everybody else around me was going the java/php way. Am I glad that I stuck to my decision coz I’m beginning to see the fruits of my labour. Knowing that there are many interest in porting applications into rails assures me even further.

This is a great site. Very useful web app. Just to let you know that I found your site thru the E27 podcast.

I did the same for my app, and it was worth it in the end too. However, I have some two pieces of cautious advice to give (that may avoid some hair-pulling later):

1) Aim for feature parity with whatever you’re replacing first before adding any new features.

2) Resist the temptation to add new features before all known bugs are fixed.

Exactly what I faced with and felt like 4 months ago when I decided to recode ping.sg

In the end it was well worth the time of recoding as now the site is more expandable and managable.

Good luck in the process.
