Hey,

all of you should really have a look at No Kahuna, a very clean and simple task management app for your team. It’s a pleasure to use and so we decided to let our new product connect directly to it in order to handle our user feedback.

To achieve this I contacted Alex of No Kahuna and asked if there is an API or if there are plans to release an API in the near future. Unfortunately there isn’t but it seems that something is in the pipe of the No Kahuna guys. Anyway, we needed the functionality now and so I wrote Neoneo, a ruby No Kahuna wrapper.

In a few words is nothing more than an HTML scraper that interacts with No Kahuna in the same way as you can do with your browser.

At the moment it’s primarily designed to add tasks to your No Kahuna projects but it has some other cool features like reading tasks of a project or editing a project’s name etc, too.
Just install it right away from rubyforge:

sudo gem install neoneo


And then it takes nothing more than:

1

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'neoneo'
 
  user = Neoneo::User.new('user name', 'password').
  project = user.projects.find('My Project')
 
  project.add_task("A fantastic and delicious new task.",
                   :notify => ['Peter Paul', 'Someone Else'],
                   :category => "Crazy Shit")

Check out Neoneo’s docs for more info and some examples of how to use it or have a look at the source in our github repository.

You’re welcome to contribute in any way! Ideas, bug reports, patches and new solutions are highly welcomed :)

So enjoy No Kahuna at your fingertips and leave us a line if you encounter any trouble with it!

Yours,

Hey guys,

recently we’ve released our first two gems.

Tags4Free let’s you easily extract tags/keywords from a text using Yahoo!’s Term Extraction Webservice

Babylon gives you the power of the Google AJAX Language API to determine the language of a text without the hassle of quering the service yourself.

The gems can be installed via:

gem install tags4free

and

gem install babylon


And the documentation can be found at the kickass.rb page at Rubyforge.

Both gems are using the John Nunemaker’s HTTParty gem which is really fun and easy to use, so thanks a lot John!

Ok, thats it for now!
