looks pretty solid, clean, and well put together

Personally I'm pretty much burned out on typical facebook apps like this ( vampires, zombies, egg hatching, and so forth ), but I could see a lot of my friends using your app

what did you write it in out of curiousity?



Written in ruby, with the help of the following great technologies (most are ruby gems):

 - ramaze, the simple, modular web-framework (ramaze.net)
 - sequel as the database ORM layer (http://code.google.com/p/ruby-sequel/wiki/CheatSheet)
 - mongrel as the webserver (monkey patched with swiftiply to use eventmachine: http://swiftiply.swiftcore.org/mongrel.html)
 - facebooker for facebook api calls (http://chadfowler.com/2007/9/5/writing-apis-to-wrap-apis)
 - haml for html templating (http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/)
 - sass for css templating (http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/docs/sass)
 - analogger for logging (http://analogger.swiftcore.org/)
 - postgres for db backend (and sqlite for dev)
