Subversion Browser on Rails
Posted by rick July 09, 2007 @ 09:20 PM
ActiveReload has just released Warehouse, a simple subversion browser written using Rails. It sports a beautiful UI and can handle the mundane task of user and permission management for you. It’s also being distributed in a unique fashion for most Rails applications. Instead of being hosted, it is sold and downloaded to be installed on your own server.
If you’re interested, check us out at the Warehouse site.
is it a free software?
click link. read text. Is $30.

Don’t know if it has the same features and it seems not to be updated anymore, but it’s free.
Uh, nice abuse of blogging power, Rick.
That Justin Palmer is a design guru. The 2 of you can take just about any braindead application idea and turn it into gold.
Hell, I’m just jealous.
Looking good, but what about showing the diff between certain revisions?
30 bucks is worth it just to look through the code. Very nice structure, though not too many comments…
Lame. May be you could use adsense instead ?
p.s -> how much to spam my app on rails blog ??
that IS beautiful… nice work! not sure I could bring myself to purchase it though… I managed to make a not-so-pretty one in an evening..
browse the source of subsub using subsub :)

or export from svn://dev.oxdi.eu/subsub
Too bad it’s not free software.
Pretty cool. I’ll have to download and check it out.
What’s the thing with blatantly ripping off Apples GUI-design? Very uninspiring and just about as cool as copying a Microsoft GUI. It’s a quick and easy way of making a piece of second grade software look expensive, i guess.
Congratulations.
Just on a point of order, though, any connection between a blogger and an endorsed product should be made clearer than an easy-to-miss “check us out” – why open yourself to accusations of abusing your position?
What’s the deal?
Put your sources in git or mercurial: you’ll have everything locally. Just use your favorite editor/IDE to browse.
Want a touch of central repository? Then push your branches into a common repo, pull from it and just browse locally, again.
I don’t really understand the current hype about subversion. It is over. Subversion is to SCM what PHP is to web development.
I don’t see what’s wrong with promoting Rails stuff (for profit or not) on the Rails blog, especially considering how much the people behind Warehouse have given back to the Rails community.
This is a cool app that a lot of people are going to find useful, so kudos!
donnacha: thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.
I’m not sure there’s much current hype around subversion. It’s more like the “IE6 of version control” to me, a lowest common denominator. But, a lot of folks still use it. And who knows? We may be going after mercurial and git in the future? They both come with ugly web frontends though, which is really nice.
To say the Warehouse site design looks like Apple’s GUI design is to miss what’s actually going on: Warehouseapp.com looks like a best-of-breed Mac shareware app site. Apple’s own site design looks like that now, but that’s pretty much because Apple has recently hired many really top-flight Mac-oriented web designers.
Great work, guys.
I really recommend Git over Subversion, but this seems like a nice app if you are bound to SVN for whatever reason.
I think it’s great that folks are selling rails apps as well as charging on a service model.
Well done guys, it’s a really pretty app at a really great price.

Sorry, but I don’t see what this product has over the Open Source, mature, and infinitely more featured Trac project manager. Trac’s not perfect, but what makes this product different or unique enough to make you want to switch, let alone pay money for it?
Mind the Open Source gap: Trac has $500,000 worth of work put into it according to Ohloh, and is very mature by Open Source standards. It is going to be a real uphill battle trying to sell this product in the same space.
