Ruby on Rails, Open Source
Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in the controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails gives you a pure-Ruby development environment. To go live, all you need to add is a database and a web server.
Why did we create LovdByLess?
Along with having our own products, we also develop websites for other companies. Last year we had more requests for a "social network that also does _________" than for anything else. Most of these projects were crippled with a budget so small that they would never be able to afford a well programmed site that meets their goals. So we said we should just build an open source social network platform and give it away. While we don't believe that the world needs another social network, we do believe that most sites can benefit from some sort of social interaction, software is about communication after all. Now everyone has a social networking platform they can write their application on without worrying about the details. We just want to help people get off on the right foot. We wrote LovdByLess for you. We wish you the best in your project. Enjoy!
