Deploy your own PaaS: Setting up Dokku with DigitalOcean and Namecheap

Setting up Dokku with DigitalOcean and Namecheap

..or how I made my own heroku in a few hours for $3.98.

This write-up is several years out of date! You probably shouldn't use it.

To synchronize data between a RubyMotion app and a Rails API I needed a sort of a synchronization helper. This code is a proof of concept for this synchronization helper. It uses RubyMotion and BubbleWrap.
class AppDelegate
def application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions)
# For unit testing the application
return true if RUBYMOTION_ENV == 'test'
# Get the frame for the window
@window = UIWindow.alloc.initWithFrame(UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds)
# Load all the data from the API

Detect a tap on a URL inside a UITextView. Note: the rs_links method isn't included -- you'll need something that takes text and returns an array of detected links. This gist just demonstrates walking through the UITextView characters.
@implementation UITextView (RSExtras)
static BOOL stringCharacterIsAllowedAsPartOfLink(NSString *s) {
/*[s length] is assumed to be 0 or 1. s may be nil.
Totally not a strict check.*/
if (s == nil || [s length] < 1)
return NO;

Building an RFC compliant JSON-Patch with Rails 3 and Backbone

I recently got PATCH mostly working with Backbone and Rails 3, here's what I needed to do.

Sticking Points:

  1. [Rails] JSON Patch gem needs updated.
  2. [Rails] Routing verb for patch missing - I believe this is fixed in Rails 4, haven't investigated.
  3. [Rails] Need to parse the 'application/json-patch+json' content type in sort of a crazy way
  4. [Rails] Building a patch and applying it to an activerecord model is kind of a pain, ideally we'd have a ActiveModel#apply_patch(json_patch)
  5. [Backbone] Building a patch from a set of attributes is tricky - I've done the bare minimum using a loop over a hash to build add operations, which should probably cover a good chunk of cases for backbone. (I imagine most people aren't going to need the json-patch support for moving, copying or deleting keys generally.)
