Quick Tip: Manager keyboard shortcuts
We noticed many of our users aren’t aware that our Webby Manager has nice keyboard shortcuts to manage repetitive tasks.
All you have to do is press ‘h’ from anywhere within the manager and then a context-sensitive dialog will popup with all the available shortcuts.
Here’s an example:

Webbynode API is Live!
I am thrilled to announce we just released the first version of our Webbynode API. This first version includes basic Client information, Webby actions and DNS (Zones and Records) management.
If you go to your account section, you’ll notice that besides the usual information there is a new API Token entry:

Rails ReadyStack Step 1
You’ve probably already seen our Rails ReadyStack in our launch screen cast. If you haven’t, go check it out. I’ll be covering it in writing here. I’ll go over each of the options in brief, then cover them in more detail following the steps you would take during a redeploy.

New Community Forums & Howto Articles
Our community has always been amazing. Following the Official Launch, we received a lot of input from you, and with that in mind we decided it was time to redesign our Community Forums which are now available in an all new style for your social interacting pleasure.
But if you thought that was all, step back for a moment. While ReadyStacks make it much easier and faster to deploy your apps, and Community stacks are yet to bring even more charm to this process, we understand that there is a lot of power and customization potential hidden in Webbies. For this reason we created a Howto Articles section, where we will regularly post articles on topics that you (yes, that’s Y-O-U) suggest. If you would like to contribute please send your ideas at mario@webbynode.com
Of course, please feel invited to visit our IRC channel located on Freenode (irc.freenode.net) #webbynode where we talk about hosting, rails, ducks and various other interesting subjects.

GitHub API v2 in Ruby
This is a Major update to octopi library (that is a Ruby interface for the GitHub API v2). Written by Webbynode’s Felipe Coury.
Gem installation
Yes! Now you can install octopi as a Gem:
$ sudo gem install fcoury-octopi --source http://gems.github.com
Progress
I am now focusing on having complete coverage of the API features that anyone can do as an anonymous user (not authenticated to GitHub, that is).
Once this part is done we’ll start working on features that requires authentication.
Some code snippets for your delight:
User API
Getting user information
# user information u = User.find("fcoury") puts "#{u.name} followed by #{u.followers.join(", ")}, following #{u.following.join(", ")}"
