Some extra notes: Ruby Video is a Rails application backed by SQLite, its frontend powered by Hotwire. It is open source on GitHub. I’d consider the repo a great resource for anyone looking to learn more about how modern Rails apps are built.<p><a href="https://github.com/adrienpoly/rubyvideo">https://github.com/adrienpoly/rubyvideo</a><p><a href="https://hotwired.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://hotwired.dev/</a>
So first of all its a very cool project even tho i don't code ruby.<p>But in case the author of the page is in here, please read the following:<p>Some years ago i had a similar idea, just instead of ruby-cons i went for defcon videos. I build a page that indexed all defcon talks and even tried to categorize them in terms of topics and difficulty. Added a nice search, and put it out as "defcon.video". It didn't take google long to message me and tell me i had to take it down because its actually forbidden to host an alternative search index if you are using the youtube API. You are not allowed to store the results of youtube API (longer than 24hours if i remember) and as stated before not allowed to offer an alternate search.<p>While you might argue: why didn't you just state that you don't use the api to grab the data and shutoff the token usage : well because google is not really known to be friendly and i expected them to just close down my whole developer account if i don't follow.<p>So - in case not all the videos are hand inserted (and even then they might come at you) google definatly will reach out to you and try to force you down. Back when it happend to me i didn't have the time and patience to fight them back so defcon.video was shutdown.<p>Best of luck tho
Really nice to see a deployed modern Rails site. I just recently decided to try Rails 8 out for a side-project of mine (Paranoia RPG virtual table top) and had a generally pleasant experience.<p>The biggest pain point was the lack of Grade A documentation for the best way to use ActionCable and Turbo – information is spread out between Rails Guides, API docs, and then the Turbo / Stimulus documentation. The actual API docs do a poor job of explaining basic concepts like "streamables", and I kept wondering if I was doing things the "right"/idiomatic way.<p>Still, as always, ActiveRecord is my biggest draw for Rails, and the new first-class Sqlite integrations are a huge draw for me. I've yet to find an ORM that allows me to be anywhere near as productive.
I was tickled to scroll down and see my own stupid avatar. Claimed my profile and wrote a note.<p>Thank you so much to everyone in the Ruby community. I spoke at conferences around the world for 13 years, made a ton of friends, and officially retired from speaking at Rails World in Toronto back in September. Some of the best people I've ever met, and the community transformed my life and career.
What a great resource, thanks to whoever put this together.<p>To anyone who enjoys contorting the language to make it do weird things for fun, quines, and those sort of things, I really recommend Tomoya Ishida's talk at RubyKaigi 2024. It's in Japanese, but there are subtitles, and the slides speak for themselves. Some of the more whimsical uses of Ruby I've seen in a while. Keyword to peak your interest: animated quines.<p><a href="https://www.rubyvideo.dev/talks/keynote-writing-weird-code" rel="nofollow">https://www.rubyvideo.dev/talks/keynote-writing-weird-code</a><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6QGq5uGhgU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6QGq5uGhgU</a>
This looks awesome and the site looks like it’s custom built. For anyone looking for a tool I’ve been using Pyro (<a href="https://www.pyro.app" rel="nofollow">https://www.pyro.app</a>) to collect startup pitch videos (<a href="https://video.heystartup.com" rel="nofollow">https://video.heystartup.com</a>)
Still sad that the one ruby conference I spoke at — Steel City Ruby way back in 2014 — left behind no video recordings due to a mixup between the conference organizers and the venue staff.
Ruby on Reels! :D Great effort, thanks.<p>I wish there were more sites like this, devoted to particular topics that proved to be valuable enough to be presented in a public talk. I currently use YouTube for this a lot (like most people, I guess). But sadly, count(views) is not always correlated to quality.
Is it just me, or is Ruby experiencing a renaissance of sorts? There has been a bunch of positive press, and the community seems more active and vibrant than ever?
I was wondering if the same type application exists for Python and there is similar: pyvideo [1]<p>[1] <a href="https://pyvideo.org/" rel="nofollow">https://pyvideo.org/</a>
