Firstly, I was having problems accessing port 3000 on localhost, so I switched to pow,
so I could access http://spotview.dev (http://pow.cx/)

so when you add your http://myapp.dev to the RequiredPermissions array, make sure you
close and reopen.

Finally, you need to set a response header of Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *.  I did this
in rails with a filter in the controller, but you could do this more cleanly with rack 
or a custom responder.  My (slightly dirty) solution:

$ echo "export PATH=.bundle/bin:$PATH" >> .rvmrc
$ bundle install --binstubs=.bundle/bin
$ cd ..
$ cd <app-dir>

installs binstubs into app_dir/bin, and rvm adds ./bin to your path automatically (and takes it away again when you cd out of the app dir)
no more bundle exec
