Well, I finally did it, I released my first open source software, RJournal. RJournal is a very simple LiveJournal client written in pure Ruby. It's licensed under the MIT license, so you can do pretty much anything you want with it. It's a first release, so I expect that it's full of bugs and exceedingly rough to use, but please let me know what you thought, and drop me some comments. I also expect that right now, only geeks will be able to use it, so the people who don't know much about computers will probably not be able to run it just yet.
For the next release, I plan to add a GUI using Fox. The goal of RJournal is to be a Ruby, cross-platform equivalent of XJournal, a very, very nice OS X LiveJournal client.
I also have a few questions regarding testing in the application: since most operations have side effects (posting a new message to a journal, creating a config file, an history file, updating an history file, etc.), how do you effectively test those cases? Any input regarding this will be much appreciated.
