Rails is truly amazing.

I can never get over how truly amazing Ruby on Rails is. I was recently asked to create a quick and nasty demo application to showcase some of my skills. So, following the provided specs, I whipped up the following application in less than a day (of course, I spent a larger portion of that than I'd like to admit on user interface tweaks - I wish I had design talent).

Now, I'm not a graphic designer/illustrator by any means, but my coding is pretty good. You can check out the application here. It's a pretty basic file uploader with the ability to make files public. Also, the upload supports RTF and HTML in addition to plain text.

Although the site isn’t quite finished yet, it looks fairly decent. Since I’ve had to do it on my own time, unpaid, I’m completing it in stages.
