some new projects

I am working on [and will someday release] a couple of plugins, in case anybody wanted to use them before release. So this is a pre-release notice :slight_smile:

1) a natural language query helper ex: School.where 'name includes' => 'Washington' School.awhere 'id in' => [38,49,50] English is much better than SQL :slight_smile: This plugin is addictive.

2) an auto-reloader, such that you can run your app in production mode and still change code. Ex: if a file changes, say app/controllers/my_controller.rb changes, it will auto-reload the model given in that file. Meaning you can debug in production mode [very nice for slow computers!]. I'm not sure if rails 2.0 does this automatically or what not, but doesn't seem to, whereas this plugin does. Finally speed + code changes.

Anyway if anyone's interested email me and I'll hook you up. Thanks all! -R

plugins or gems?

What if I want to use them (>shocked gasp<) outside Rails?

And do they all got unit tests?

class reloader: no tests--it just works it's like 10 lines of code. sql simplifier: has some inline doctests.

They're both just plain files right now. I could package them up any way desired. Let me know which you'd be interested in [so I'll know if I should add tests before giving it out or what not]. -R
