Methane

Methane was supposed to be a ruby cross-platform Campfire client.

The idea was to build the GUI using qtruby and qt-webkit. Where HTML UI elements (with Tempo.js/jQuery) inside a webkit frame communicate through a websocket with the the backend (EventMachine + tweetstream + tinder).

Failure

I failed to get a stable build (qtruby keept crashing for any unknown reason) so I discontinued any development.

Who knows, I might or not get back to this idea with a smarter approach. Till then feel free to play with it and hack around.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'methane'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install methane

Usage

Building qtruby might take some time. Please be patient, after what just run:

$ bundle exec methane
