Simplelog dies because of RedCloth
Posted by Jesse Rodgers on December 04, 2008 at 10:55 PM
No idea why it took until the other day for it to happen but my blog just shut down and all I got was an error in my mongrel.log that suggested an error with the RedCloth Gem. I could have sworn the gems were frozen on my running version of Simplelog but I guess they aren’t. My fix was to comment out the calling of RedCloth gem in my text_helper.rb. This isn’t ideal but it got me up and running again.
A friend with the same problem will likely find a better solution. I do wish someone would start working on Simplelog again… such a great little app.

I wish there were a stable, maintained, and advancing Rails blogging platform that was on par with WordPress. Of course with Rails it is kind of the way things are done to just build what you need yourself (and I’m kind of tempted), but I think this is the biggest missing component for RoR.
Me too. Simplelog is a great start but it needs to be maintained and I don’t think its creator is interested. I have been tempted as well to try and find some folks interested in doing just what you describe ;)
