It's named 'Fast' API. Is it any faster then using Active Model Serializers?

I came from a zero programming background and built the website in Ruby on Rails whilst learning Ruby.

I wanted to build a fully native app for the best user experience and really enjoyed learning ruby, Rubymotion seemed like the perfect fit and it didn't disappoint.

I still have the limitation with Android of course...

I've not got round to Promotion yet. I'm really enjoying RMQ though and would be hard to move away from it!

Yeh I think it would be easier eventually. I struggled trying to implement it though looking at objective-c. Its on my to-do list

Well if the app is successful I plan on releasing it for Android and on the web

When you log in initially you are following 'Footpoll'. The main page is similar to twitter dependent on who you are following. You can go to the categories section to view Man Utd polls.

Happy to write an article on that. I initially built the website using Ruby on Rails and had twitter/facebook omniauth implemented.

It was then a simple case of displaying a web view in the app with login similar to how you would on the web, then diverting back to the app upon login.

Thanks waterside, and thanks for picking that error up.

Completely envision the app working in real-time too. Also for man of the match voting etc.

Future versions will also include a breakdown of the votes by supporters as Football is a tribal sport and opinions are biased towards your club.

Thanks for the feedback

Thank you.

I bought Rubymotion in November and it took me a month or two testing out different gems etc.

I ended up using RMQ, CDQ, Restkit, formotion, bits of bubblewrap

I think a few have tried but nothing major I don't think. I recall a site called Opinsy a year or so back.

My initial thoughts we're creating it on a subject I was passionate about, as I personally wouldn't go on a generalist site to argue my opinion's about chalk then about cheese.

But the concept can be applied to anything of course.
