Fun little Rails applications

… That I’ll probably never will get around to write or finish, because of lack of time and all the other usual suspects:

  • A blogging system where the posts are powered by a Subversion repository
  • A personal finance manager
  • A DVD/games/books/music/etc cataloguing app
  • A feed reader/aggregator
  • A bookmark/notes manager
  • A rate-and-review-anything app (I always forget which wines I liked, which shoes was the most comfortable and son)
  • A neat httpd log parser
  • A site for finding Rails jobs and projects.
  • A TiddlyWiki inspired thing
  • A billing/support manager

Of course, you’re now free to steal any of the above ideas and take all the credit.

    Why have the blog thing be subversion based? What advantage(s) does that give?
