I'm officially finished with jacolyte.com

I’ve been working on jacolyte.com for about a year, and I’m finally finished. It’s undergone many radical changes, and will probably never be 100% finished, but I can finally call it a polished, finished product. Originally, the goal was to have a large music site with tags, categories, genres, comments, an API, an admin interface, and a lot more. With the latest iteration of jacolyte.com, I’ve simplified the goal. The goal is now just an index of music hosted on 3rd party file hosts.

Jacolyte.com was originally built on Django, then Rails, then finally Sinatra. I threw MySQL under the bus, and considered CouchDB for a moment, then realized there’s a perfectly good file store, the filesystem.

The stack includes:

• Language: Ruby
• Framework: Sinatra
• Server: Thin
• OS: Ubuntu
• Datastore: Filesystem

If you haven’t checked it out already, take a look at jacolyte.com. Now, on to other projects…
