The winners of 2012 Rails Rumble have been announced, so go check them out!
The issue was that we wanted to limit the abstract to two lines on the homepage. Limiting to one sentence meant that long sentences were taking up more than that. So, we truncated based on word count.
We could have done something more complicated with checking sentence length and then truncating etc. But, the Rumble is time limited & it wasn’t a priority.
That’s right. We also apply a HN style decay to the scores, along with a boost for open content.
Cheers. Using boostrap's grid for layout meant that we got it (mostly) for free.
Thanks for the kind words Peter.
Thanks for the heads up; I'm sure that there will be plenty of little things pop up now we have finalized the entry. We'll take a look at it once the judging is over.
Looks like a fun product! Anyone know of any UK based businesses using it?
This is great news! Been waiting for this one for a while now.
