A Ruby on Rails clone of REDDIT in 20 minutes

Ideas on Rails has a great tutorial on how to make a (very, very) lite version of the popular website Reddit, by using Ruby on Rails, in about 20 minutes.

So, in this little tutorial, we will write an app which allows you to

1. submit links
2. view links sorted by points voted or by date/time of submission (”hot” and “new”)
3. vote links up or down (with AJAX, to avoid reloading the whole page)

We don’t add advanced features like user accounts, or checking that users should not vote on a link more than once, because that would be out of the limits of this little tutorial.

Definitely worth checking out. (Thanks Erik)
