Finishing a web app for content


A big issue that I had to overcome with building Flippy Flap is the method of entering content.  How do you get content on the board?

I thought that it would be best to keep the management inside the application - but I'm writing this in Dragon Ruby.  It's a gaming engine, not a web application, and there are no text boxes.  

Dragon Ruby has a built-in web server, so then I thought I would expose an API.  And that works wonderfully, but now a user has to be technical.  Then it clicked:  Make it serve a web app.

So coming up in the next version:  When you start Flippy Flap, you'll be able to control the content of the board using a web app hosted on localhost:9002.
