SpellBook

SpellBook is a launcher for browser-based desktop apps.

What's "browser-based"?

Browser-GUI apps are desktop apps made with Web technology like HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Why not GUI toolkits?

There are many GUI libraries for Ruby, but I would like to write desktop apps in Sinatra (or Rails).

Why do I need a launcher?

Browser-GUI apps work on web application frameworks and web server. When you have many Browser-GUI apps, it is difficult to remember all the port numbers.

Install

You need Ruby 1.8 or 1.9 and RubyGems.

$ gem i spellbook

Usage

$ spellbook -h
$ spellbook

Then open http://localhost:3017 in your browser.

What SpellBook does

  • Launcher
    • Register an app
    • Start an app
    • Stop an running app
  • Proxy
    • Access to all the apps through one port number
      • You don't need editing iptables everytime install new app

What SpellBook does not

  • Installing apps
  • Updating apps
