I program in Ruby for every day stuff and as a hobby. But for $$$ I work on what I think is one of the internets best kept secrets: Dolphin (boonex.com). I tried to find other people that use Dolphin on hackernews, but I can't find any stories or comments besides the ones left by me.
It seems to me like hackernewsers are biased to writing their own communities from scratch in Ruby on Rails or Django. Dolphin is written in PHP and even though its not my favorite, I like doing something different for work.
Would you use this software to build a community? What is stopping you from learning this software and writing modules for it? Are you working on another open-source gem?
