A big issue that I had to overcome with building Flippy Flap is the method of entering content. How do you get content on the board?
I thought that it would be best to keep the management inside the application - but I'm writing this in Dragon Ruby. It's a gaming engine, not a web application, and there are no text boxes.
Dragon Ruby has a built-in web server, so then I thought I would expose an API. And that works wonderfully, but now a user has to be technical. Then it clicked: Make it serve a web app.
So coming up in the next version: When you start Flippy Flap, you'll be able to control the content of the board using a web app hosted on localhost:9002.
