Nice job! I just tested it out and it works great. I see you're using google app engine, I'm building a couple of apps on it and love working with. My platform of choice for sure.


Thanks! GAE is definitely a great way to get something up and running fast.

After spending a few months with RoR though I definitely am enjoying writing in Ruby more so than Python. I might try JRuby next time I do something on app engine - http://code.google.com/p/appengine-jruby/


congrats on the launch, it's really great for a first effort!

I also hear app engine can tolerate a fairly large amount of traffic before you have to pay, so it seems like a solid choice to start on.


Sorry for my n00b-ness, but how do people know he's using app engine?

Edit: Oops.. I jumped straight to the app and only later noticed the "How I Built It" note on the post...


You can view the response headers for a page and GAE will list the server as "Google Frontend"
