Hi all,

I'm updating the Gaelyk website a bit, adding search capabilities, a
PDF of the documentation, a one-page printable docmentation, some
quick links, etc.
And I'm considering show-casing some of the live Gaelyk applications
in the wild.

So I'm wondering who's using Gaelyk here in this group, and would be
happy to see a mention on the Gaelyk front page?

All I need would be a link, and a brief description of the site.

Thanks for your attention.

http://i-emote.appspot.com/ - a work in progress lol but a work none the less :)

i-emote is a min-blogger like social web application. i-emote lets its members post comments that other members can view and react to and that can include urls to such things as a web page or a youtube video page and like facebook the url will be associated with their comment (lots of html scraping code to make this work, by the way). Users' can upload images as part of their comments as well. As a social site users can search for and  subscribe to other users and receive new comments by those other users. Each user has their own profile page on which they can if they want provide information about themselves and on which show who they are subscribed to and who is subscribed to them.

As a work in progress I've learned quite a few things since first implementing the current code base and as such I expect to rewrite large portions of the app for which my goals will be to make it more performant and to add lots of new functionality. Most html rendering will be done using javascript/json/ajax to improve the performance on the server.

I should make it clear that I am not trying to create another facebook clone. Rather, I am using i-emote as an academic study of designing and building highly scalable and social web sites and ultimately as a site that other users will enjoy because of its uniqueness.

Sincerely,
Jeff

http://www.olivesoup.com - just started using Gaelyk to create my pet
project. I'm impressed with how easy I can create webpages and deploy
it to GAE. I started using Grails but GAE integration was horrific.

Olive Soup will start as a simple, personalized gallery service so I
can post my pictures and publicly share it to my family. You may ask
so why not use the existing services? For one they do not like to
create accounts, secondly they despise Facebook, and finally, I want a
pet project and create my own website to showcase my talent (if any)
to prospective clients here in the Philippines and hopefully use
Gaelyk as a base framework for developing websites, from simple to
enterprise level systems :)

It's still a work in progress (in its first week of development) and
still have tons of work to do before it can be rolled out to
production.

Do we have a community where we can easily share plugins? Or maybe we
can submit useful plugins and post it to your website. Since Gaelyk
is currently lacking layers to ease creation of web applications, e.g.
Helper for form controls, authentication/authorization, validations,
scaffolding, etc, I'm hoping the plugin system will help create these
conveniences.

Good luck to everyone and have fun using Gaelyk :)

I created a similar gallery for sharing pictures and videos of my daughter with my family.
So even if sometimes we reinvent the wheel a little, it has also its advantages :-)

I've created a GitHub repository for plugins, but so far, it's empty.
People publish their plugins where they see fit, for the time being.
Perhaps we could just add a section on the Gaelyk website with a pointer and some metadata information for existing plugins.
I'm still not yet sure how we should proceed, but that sounds like something that would be useful to do.
 
Good luck to everyone and have fun using Gaelyk :)

Enjoy :-)

Hello,

As it seems that on going apps are welcomed, here is mine :
https://mes-emmerdes.appspot.com/

Idea is to store your main administrative, contractuals,... details in
files (insurance, phone company, energy company, internet provider,
bank adresss, tax...), and be able create letters to print for sending
to all of them. For instance you can :
- inform all your files that you've changed of adresses or change of
bank account
- inform your real estate agency that you want to resiliate
- inform you ISP you want resiliate
- inform one of your files of anything
Then all you have to do is to print the pdf, fold the paper and send
it.
I consider it's today a beta, without insurance of evolution or
keeping existing datas alive as I need to stop few times the
development.

By the way, I consider the site could already used as it.
If you want to test, feel free to create an account, I just recommend
you few things :
1) Choose a strong password, as datas you'll might put could be
sensible and it's not possible to change the password later. Note that
all the content of your file is encrypted in AES with a personal key
which I don't know and which is never store in GAE database.
2) If you create some files, think about sometimes to export your
files on text file (there a page for that), so that at least you'll
keep a written doc with the typed informations.
3) Start by creating an adress file

It's not last Gaelyk release, and it used objectify, shiro, itext and
few other stuff.
It's my 2nd GAE application, first one was GAE with Spring and usual
relational data model, I stopped the site and rewrite it on linux/
mysql instead as data performance was horrible. But in this site with
Gaelyk, objectify and a simple (but dirty) datamodel, I'm quite happy
on the performances even with on the fly encryption/decryption.

Don't hesitate to indicate me bugs...
fréd

Hi Guillaume,

The site update looks great! I was wondering if it's too late to
include a reference to my site?

I put it out there last night, and it's a site to facilitate building
your friendship network on Twitter. It's called PleezFollowMe and can
be found at http://pleezfollow.me

And now, with that distraction aside, time to get back to finishing
off that Spock Gaelyk integration ;-)

We are developing on http://www.PayFrame.com which is a Micropayment service for online content. The front-end is in GWT, but the back-end is written in Gaelyk (+Groovlets). 

While there is no-commercial deployment available at this stage, I am happy to forward you the URL when we have one.

Regards,

Ram.

Guillaume,

Can I send you a link later when I get it ready?  I have an ongoing personal project for a mobile app and I am using Gaelyk for the backend.  I haven't even started with the website yet because that will be after I finish the mobile front end and server side.  Very likely, I will try to use Groovlet or gsp to build the site, if not Flex.

Je suis très contente avec Gaelyk et Groovy.   Merci beaucoup pour Gaelyk 0.6.  Je vais l'essayer à demain.

Angela

Hi Guillaume,

I'm using Gaelyk for liink.it, my quick, not finished del.icio.us
replacement. You can read about it on the "about" page. I have maybe
10-12 hours invested so far, mostly in developing the firefox plugin.

Anyone can feel free to give it a whirl for free. You can either enter
your email address, and a url to store, or download the chrome or
firefox plugin, and do the same there. Once you've stored your first
link, whenever you re-visit the site, you'll see a list of your stored
links on the homepage.

I have work left to get the tagging working (right now just storing
them, need to do more research into what the best way to store them in
the data store is) better. Once that's done, then I'm going to go back
to getting the browser plugins working as full bookmark replacements.

Feedback is appreciated, and again, feel free to play around with it,
it's free, and may (or may not!) be something you'll actually use! :)

-Ben

I'm currently using Gaelyk to write some management tools for an
online game I play. Basically I am just doing it to learn Gaelyk. I
had planned to write a del.icio.us replacement myself when I had
learned some more, but it looks like Ben is doing an excellent job of
that so I may have to dream up something else. :-)

It would be an excellent sample app. Maybe we can all write one - a
little fun challenge. :-)

Great work to everyone who has posted their apps so far by the way.
Some really nice ones.

I'm finding Gaelyk a great way to learn how Groovy works. I've played
with Grails (which is excellent - don't get me wrong), but there is so
much to learn. Gaelyk has been the perfect starting point to just
jump in and get things done without any fuss. It also makes GAE so
accessible.

To be honest I actually wanted to learn Ruby, not Groovy but to get
even a simple GAE app running in Sinatra is a headache, messing around
with gems, etc. So I ended up with Groovy instead, and I think I'm
much better off as a result.

Great work Guillaume and anyone else involved. :)

I am already done with my bookmark manager on GAE/J: http://www.favalike.com/.
However, I am not that fancy...it's "just" built with Grails and not
with Gaelyk. ;-) I might migrate it to Gaelyk at some point of time.

As someone who is "artistically challenged", I'm interested how other
developers get thing looking so good. Do you do this all yourself, or
do you get help with it?

Minimalist design is quite simple, Just use CSS & HTML.. 

Sometimes its handy to have a Graphic Designer around if you want to add an extra bit of oomph.

Hi Guillaume

I made Galeyk app for English student. It is only for Czech people in
cs language.
In this app, student can repetition Englich vocabulary, Englich
phrases and English irregular verbs. The app use about 100 people from
Czech in this time.

I prefer http://www.drilujeme.cz/ but the source URL is http://drilujeme.appspot.com/

Thank a lot for Galeyk.

favalike.com, I like the idea of getting a screenshot from
thumbshots.com! I still haven't figured out the best way to handle

Good luck with your project, I've been having fun with mine!

Hi,

I have written an very simple and extremely silly Facebook app with
Gealyk called Virtual Facebook Mom. It reads your feed an looks for
certain mom-relevant words such as “clean” or some curse words. Each
mom-relevant word has a “strength” assigned to it and depending on how
mom-friendly the word is. An average is then calculated for your feed
and it provides you with a corresponding comment. It currently only
works for English and Swedish.

http://apps.facebook.com/virtualfbmom/

Thanks for a great framework and keep up the good work.

in Gaelyk a while ago and blogged it here:

has no internet connection.

I hope some of you could be this functionality useful.

Hi all,

I did a small showcase using Groovy to do some technical analysis on
stocks. The generated charts and the small existing navigation use
Gaelyk, routing etc.

To learn the framework, I wrote a VERY simple website to showcase my girlfriend's portfolio (hair). I have since made it live at www.lizlee.me. Again, it is very simple. I did leverage the blobstore to make it easy for her to add/remove and well as correctly format images from her portfolio. I really enjoyed the built in routing. Next step is to integrate with Twitter and Facebook since I need to have that code snippet for another project I'm working on.

Cool!

One little suggestion: the front page seems to be pretty static, isn't
it? (ie. no particular dynamic part)
To avoid the long instance startup cost, perhaps you could make that
front page just a plain html page, with a little JavaScript ping to
some dynamic element, so that the page renders right away (as it's
served from some static servers), and the ping would let the warmup
request make the full app ready, and then when someone hits the
portfolio, the content shows up quickly.

That's interesting.
I'd be curious to see what it gives for my employer ticker :-D (VMW)

 Hey... Just to catch the people not on twitter.
Creates a pdf that you can print out and link back to the data.

I'll be adding / serving up some cool mobile code pages soon.
Hopefully this week.


http://vehiclemanifest.appspot.com/vmeta.html

 Done with Gaelyk + itext + objectify

Will follow up with some code.

I used to Gaelyk to build  http:///www.e-rezz.com  -- an app to replace an old php-based I had for hosts of house concerts to plan their events.   In the Gaelyk rewrite, I opened it up to general (but simple) event tracking.

Vmware is now up. You just missed a good buy-signal when the macd-line
crossed the signalline and EMA5 crossed EMA-14 ;-)

Now I need to understand what "macd", "EMA5", "EMA-14" mean!
I know nothing in this area!
Do you know if there's a 101 kind of tutorial for that kind of things?

This is off topic so I´ll keep it short:
Investopedia is fairly good in describing the tech. indicators:
http://www.investopedia.com/categories/technicalanalysis.asp
I haven´t seen 101´s on buy/sell-signals, and there are many theories
created by different investors/traders. My signals are implementations
of a strategy used by two economy-bloggers in Sweden.

Then there is the long discussion if tech.analysis work at all!

I finished a little mini app this weekend and wrote a little blog
about it:

Something to do with train delays in Holland :)

Hi Adam,

I just noticed you had replied to me directly, but the Gaelyk users didn't get a change to have a look at your Gaelyk powered website!

Great job :-)

I'm gonna add it on the front page for the next release of Gaelyk.

Hi Gaelyk Users -

Just launched my first Gaelyk application http://www.yesihaveatruck.com
- Its a website to help pickup truck owners connect with folks willing
to pay for some help in hauling small loads - too big for a car, but
not big enough for a moving van.  Just a fun, social bartering app to
help solve a problem I have (as the owner of a small sports car).

Not an excessively complex site, but it did allow me to learn and use
the gaelyk wrappers for memcache, task queues, email, as well as the
excellent Obgaektify api http://obgaektify.appspot.com/

Guillaume - I'd certainly be pleased to see this in the "Gaelyk in the
Wild" section next time you update it.

I've got a website that I've been working on for a long time that is now up and running.

http://www.commenthow.com

It's a website for users to post step-by-step tutorials of DIY projects, and where every how-to article has a language code for one of the world's almost 7000 languages, so users can post articles in their own language, and see articles in their own language.

Now I just need some users :)

Hi,

I'm using gaelyk for http://www.preiswaechter.com

You can watch amazon prices and get notified if something you watch reaches a pricelimit. The website is in german and uses the german amazon api
It started as a simple project to learn something about gaelyk (and the amazon api) but it grows during the last month and the website actually get some users :-)
So I'm still working on some enhancements and try to get some more user although the competition is hard

Regards,
Melanie

I just finally got around to launching aFinalMessage.com.  It started out as a personal side project long ago, but I decided to go ahead and make it a public service.

Basically, we allow users to store messages to be sent (emailed) out upon their death.  I wanted a way to make sure I got to say goodbye to my wife and kids, but wasn't thrilled with existing options.  You're certainly welcome to showcase my site if you'd like.

Thanks,
Chad
