I'm not a Ruby/Rails guy, but I'm interested in the software ecosystem as a whole, so I really wish them the best with this effort.
However, this announcement leads me to a pet peeve. If you visit the above link in a web browser, it tells you "pick an app" to view this ... content? Page? Whatever it is.
What you cannot pick, apparently, is "view this in the web browser I'm currently using to read your annoying prompt to use an app".
So congratulations to every FOSS project who does this sort of nonsense and immediately cuts off a significant fraction of their potential audience from ever seeing their "stuff".
Have a damned web site.
