RubyCrumbler
Discontinued A simple Ruby script that contains a GUI desktop application providing typical NLP tasks ready to apply on English or German text files. Available for macOS, Windows and Linux.
Every once in a while, I get approached by people who ask a lot of questions about my Glimmer Ruby gems, but never complete any work in them, which is quite surprising given the fact that it takes less than a minute to run a Glimmer sample, less than 10 minutes to write one, less than an hour to build a small desktop app, and less than a day to build an app MVP (Minimum Viable Product).
I am particularly impressed by the fact that the developers of those apps fully went the distance by walking the walk, not just talking the talk, especially given that the developers of the first app (RubyCrumbler) were brand new to Glimmer DSL for LibUI and had to exercise great problem solving skills to finish their app on time for their needs.
