Defensio on Rails!
When we set out to build Defensio, one of the first things we did was put in place a clean and robust API, in the hopes that developers the world over would integrate our service into their own social web apps. We echo Fred Wilson and Dave Winer’s love of open platforms and “coral reefs”.
The first developer out of the gates is Marc-André Cournoyer, one of Montreal’s funniest best Ruby on Rails developers, with his “Defensio on Rails” plug-in. It’s an elegant implementation that makes it even easier to integrate Defensio into your Rails app — the plug-in does most of the not-so-heavy lifting, so you don’t have to.
We suggest you head on over to Marc-André’s blog for a description, instructions and code samples, or, if you’re feeling reckless, you can directly get the goods from SVN.
If you are a developer, please keep in mind that you should also read through our Developer API and Guideline documents (e-mail us if you’re interested!) to get a thorough understanding of what’s going on under the hood and to make sure that you’re fully benefiting from all Defensio has to offer; but there’s no question - Marc-André’s plug-in will make your lazy efficient lives easier.
Big thanks from us, but also on behalf of the burgeoning Defensio community, to Marc-André for his work on this plug-in!
