What an awesome marriage of Qt and Ruby. Two of my favorite languages and toolkits used appropriately to solve a real problem.

Well done! And thank you for open sourcing this.

Well done!

Qt's a pretty general toolkit for C++ applications – a pretty huge chunk of it has nothing to do with GUI programming (and what, for instance, the KDE desktop and associated tools are built on):

It was fairly recent that Nokia bought them; before that Trolltech was an independant company.

It's a kickass toolkit (and my toolkit of choice) for cross-platform desktop apps. Just keep in mind that it's GPL licensed for free apps and that the commercial license is expensive for a one-man shop.

Qt is also available under LGPL 2.1. See http://qt.nokia.com/products/licensing for details.
