Welcome! I'm afraid that right now I don't have anything in open
source to point to. I'm using it in a production app at my day job,
and I'm building another tool to do something Twitter-like, but even
if I could show you the code for them, neither would be an
exceptionally useful example of how to really use Candy. I might have
one in a couple of days, because I'm going to throw a site together
really quick for the Don't Be a Dick license it's released under.
(The license has gotten more attention than the project so far.) I
will, of course, be using Candy for the dynamic parts of the site.
For your own thing: I'd say if you're feeling adventurous and _not_
feeling immediate time pressure, go ahead and use Candy. Report any
walls you run up against -- either stuff it doesn't do yet, or stuff
you can't figure out how to do. I'm most likely to keep this active
if I know that other people find it useful.
If you *are* in a hurry, I can point you at two Mongo libraries that
are far more mature and being used in production applications on a
regular basis:
* John Nunemaker's MongoMapper: http://github.com/jnunemaker/mongomapper
* Durran Johnson's Mongoid: http://mongoid.org
Of course, _all_ of this is a bit bleeding edge right now -- anything
you do with Mongo is going to require a bit more discovery and
invention than simply tossing a Rails app up with ActiveRecord and
MySQL. To me that's one of the draws. Getting to do new stuff.
Good luck! And let me know how it goes.
