37 Signals Launches New Project: Pow, an Easy to Install Rack Server for OSX
37 Signals just announced Pow, a configuration-free, OSX version of the Ruby Web server interface Rack. Pow makes it easy for developers to install Ruby applications on their local machines without editing Apache configurations or installing gems. Pow can be installed or updated simply by curling a script.
Pow also eliminates the need to edit /etc/hosts to run Rack apps. Instead, apps can just be symlinked it into ~/.pow.
Enabling the Mobile Cloud: Appcelerator Partners with Engine Yard
Appcelerator, the makers of the mobile development framework Titanium, announced a partnership with Ruby on Rails platform-as-a-service provider Engine Yard today. Engine Yard developers will be able to create cross-platform applications using Titanium while leaving their Rails backend environments virtually unchanged. Titanium developers will be able to take advantage of Engine Yard's scalable services for building backends.
According to the announcement, the two companies will "integrate and certify each other's technologies, jointly develop best practices, and create common architectural patterns to help developers build mobile applications using Appcelerator Titanium with Ruby on Rails backends developed and deployed on the Engine Yard platform."
Remindr: Ruthlessly Hassle Yourself to Get Things Done
You've got a lot going on. And sometimes, no matter how many sticky notes you slap on your monitor, phone messages you leave for yourself, or pseudo meetings you put on your calendar, you still forget some very important things you need to do.

What's the Biggest Rails App? It Doesn't Matter
Once upon a time, whenever anyone asked, "But are there any big applications built on Rails?" The answer was usually, 43Things, anything from 37Signals, or Odeo. But over the past year, there's no doubt that if there is a poster child for Rails, it is now Twitter. With such notorious bouts of downtime, a worse poster child Rails could not possibly hope for. But is Twitter even the largest application out there running on Rails? Does it even matter?
Rails Kits: Software as a Service Made Easy
Ok, well, maybe not easy -- you do still have to build the software. But Rails Kits has created a software as a service "starter kit" that provides a pain-free way to add subscription management, recurring billing, and credit card management functionality to any Rails app. At the Web 2.0 Expo this week, software as a service was a major trend, enough so that Tim O'Reilly included the SaaS trend in his latest definition of the "Web 2.0" term.
