Rubyistokei

Introduce your Ruby friends with the clock!

What is this?

Rubyistokei is a web application to show a clock of Rubyists, by Rubyists, for Rubyists. You can introduce your Ruby friends to the world with the clock. "Tokei" (時計) means "clock" in Japanese.

Rubyistokei shows Rubyists every minute. We want to help Rubyists to know Rubyists each other by sight. So, we kindly ask you to add your Ruby friends to this project. Instruction follows.

How to add Ruby friends?

Obtain permissions from both of the Rubyist and the photographer (if you are not of them).
Create metadata for the Rubyist under data directory.
Send pull request.

Any problem?

Please open an issue.

ProTip!

If you want to pin a specific photo, use pin query parameter. For data/matz.yaml, use http://localhost:3000/?pin=matz. Useful for creating data.
In development mode, the photos switches 10x faster for debugging purposes. This behavior can be controlled with the environment variable NEXT_PUBLIC_SPEED. The setting for development mode is located in .env.development.
