Joyeur Slingshot public release

Posted by Ben Tue, 01 May 2007 21:45:00 GMT

Today Joyent is opening up the gates to Slingshot. Please check out Slingshot for Windows and Macintosh, along with a Rails plugin that makes it easier to get your Rails application working with Slingshot, and Radiant CMS running on Slingshot. It is all available from http://developers.joyent.com. We will be releasing the source code for Slingshot next month (June, 2007) under the GPL. There will be a commercial version of Slingshot with additional features and support options. The commercial version of Slingshot will be free to developers using Joyent Accelerators.

I’m going to give this a whirl sometime soon. I’ve got an idea for a sweet demo combining the Slingshot online / offline mode along with the “drag & drop” desktop features. No Plane required.
