Homepage: http://blog.codahale.com/rubyintray/




Description: RubyInTray allows you to run awesome RubyOnRails scripts, like Instiki, MouseHole, or Tracks, on your Windows computer without ugly command windows hogging valuable screen real estate, or without running third party applications as Windows services. It provides you with an icon in the notification tray which lets you start and stop the Ruby scripts as needed.

Authors: Coda Hale
Readiness: 0.1 "Notice where the zero is in the version number. This is really new stuff, and could easily delete your files, eat your cat, and lure your younger sister into an unhealthy relationship. This is pre-alpha, and there’s stuff I didn’t have time to implement–error checking, for example."
