Terminal Wedding – Ruby gem for Prerita and Jai's marriage
- pranny 13y agoI absolutely loved this concept. I was surprised to some extent that this rubygem name is still available. Appreciated !!
- Jemaclus 13y agoVery clever! My parents would not get this. At all. :P
- expertmind 13y agoBut all the geek will love it :). Its a real gem, so you can install it. Its the best way to invite other hacker friends. I hope there is no hackathon on wedding. :)
- brbcoding 13y agoI thought you had made a fantastic pun there for a second... Then realized what you really said. "It's a real gem."
- ryangripp 13y agoThis is awesome! However, 95% of my guests would be soo confused and we probably would receive a lot of phone calls/emails asking helpdesk questions. "How does this work" "So we tried the website and we wanted to let you know we will be coming..."
- girvo 13y agoI'm amazed at how well this works, in a WebView container no less, on my iPhone! Cool concept, too :)
- power2u 13y agoGreat thing! Awesome. Congratulations for the wedding!
- nikhgupta 13y agoShould be hell of a coincidence. Joined HackerNews today, and found a friend posting his wedding invitation on it. Great concept.. :)
- drdaeman 13y agoEach time I see web-based terminal with *nix-looking shell prompt inside it ends up like this: ... Successfully installed wedding-0.0.1 7 gems installed root@wedding ~$ which wedding which is not a valid command root@wedding ~$ whoami whoami is not a valid command root@wedding ~$ id -a id is not a valid command root@wedding ~$ uname -a uname is not a valid command root@wedding ~$ ls -la -bash: cd: -la: No such file or directory root@wedding ~$ logout logout is not a valid command (closes tab)
- expertmind 13y agoTry this on your computer. $ sudo gem install wedding
- expertmind 13y agoha ha ;) of course, I tried running $ rm -rf /
- brbcoding 13y agowe all tried that (+ sudo). :P.
- era86 13y agoI'll get about 3 people MAX to my wedding with this... AWESOME!
- scilro 13y agoNot my thing, but good for them.
- danpalmer 13y agoThis is quite funny. I wish RubyGems was really this fast though!
- Symmetry 13y agoOk, that is actually geekier than the PCB wedding invite I got once. Well done.
- csmattryder 13y agoHope nobody has any issues at the wedding ceremony, and especially nobody wants to take over the project afterwards! I always love an interactive shell prompt on the net.
- expertmind 13y agoI hope there are no bugs in wedding :).
- hakim 13y agoI'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the vows are pull requests.
- mzahir 13y agoIt took a while to pass the parental CI
- expertmind 13y agoWhat will happen if I fork this :)
- sylvainkalache 13y agoThat is freaking awesome :)
- koenigdavidmj 13y agoI'm slightly ashamed to admit that the first thing I ever run on this type of thing is 'make me a sandwich'.
- roozbeh18 13y agono RI or RDOC yay
- ratsimihah 13y agoSo anyone can RSVP? Is that how weddings work?
- sumang 13y agoThats how Indian weddings are , everyone is invited. I remember my sisters wedding with 2800 people and no place to sit. We Indians invite everyone we know, friends, friends of friends and our friends even invite their friends who we dont know. Who can resist Indian wedding food ? :)
- jaip 13y agoAuthor of the website here. The last thing a person who is getting married could wish would be getting his wedding invite HNed. I think I am soon going to cross the free plan's limit of typeform.com (which I am using for RSVPing there) Little history: `sudo gem install wedding` actually works. The gem was first uploaded on rubygems. Which I thought would be the only thing that I would share with my colleagues and hacker friends. Later I realized that it would be too complex a thing to expect from people, so built a mock frontend around it using jcubic's jQuery terminal plugin. I am happy that people are finding it funny / interesting. The website found its target audience. Just that I wouldn't be able to host this number of people ;-)
- expertmind 13y agoHey can I fork your wedding :) (You know what I mean)
- axus 13y agoWhile looking at the RSVP form I never intended to send, I wondered how many people show up at a wedding in India? In some cultures, a thousand or more might just "drop by" for a little bit to pay their respects.
- jaip 13y agoThough, it cant be generalized for India. But it is quite common to have more than thousand people attending a wedding.
- sourabh86 13y agoThis is the coolest wedding invite I've ever seen! Just know, you've got a fan from Rajasthan...
- vaidik 13y agoCongratulations Jai! Awesome invite I must say! \m/ Super impressed!
- chinchang 13y agoinnovative man!
- titomc 13y agowohoo.. I been thinking what should I do for mine.
- boddob 13y agoshouldn't it be 12am? Or is the Pheres next afternoon?
- jaip 13y agoPoint taken, next commit fixes it. Thanks!
