Since I like using “heroku”:http://nofail.de/category/heroku/ to bootstrap my projects, I thought it would also be a great idea to do that in this case… As it turns out, it was quite a hassle to get it up and running the way I want […]

Improved ASIN documentation

There comes a time one has to create PDFs for a Rails application. Searching the web will most likely bring you to libraries like “PDF Kit”:http://github.com/jdpace/PDFKit/ and “Wicket PDF”:http://github.com/mileszs/wicked_pdf/ that use “wkhtmltopdf”:http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ as a driver. If your app is hosted on “Heroku”:http://heroku.com you wonder weather wkhtmltopdf is available so that you can use one of […]
