Turn Rails into a SPA generator

build.rake

namespace :app do
  desc "Build static distrubution"

  task :build do
    puts "Building..."
    # Shell out for now...
    `bundle exec rake assets:clean`
    puts "Compiling"
    `bundle exec rake assets:precompile`
    puts "Starting web get"
    `wget -m localhost:3001 --directory-prefix=dist --no-host-directories`
    puts "Copying assets"
    `cp -r public/assets dist/assets`
    puts "Cleaning"
    `bundle exec rake assets:clean`
    puts "Done"
  end
end

Just load up your ember app into the root controller action and you're good to go. Also install wget http://osxdaily.com/2012/05/22/install-wget-mac-os-x/
