Steem Ruby: The Official Ruby Client for the Steem Blockchain

Hello, I'm Hive account@inertia and I've been working in the SteemWorks group (first announced in Dev Portal Update #3) doing developer outreach at Steemit, Inc. Today, I'd like to talk about one of my projects: Steem Ruby (steem-ruby).

The purpose of Steem Ruby is to implement every method AppBase provides, so that developers who work in Ruby can do everything AppBase allows. In addition to this, Steem Ruby tests every method AppBase provides, which allows it to be a reference implementation for other clients that want to do the same.

Why Use Steem Ruby?

You should consider Steem Ruby if you need to:

• Use json-rpc-batch to get multiple blocks at once.
• Use multisig.
• Experiment with AppBase methods.

Note: steem-ruby-0.9.1 uses AppBase API methods that are still under development and are subject to change.

If you'd like to take a look at this new gem or contribute to its development, the repository is on GitHub at:

https://github.com/steemit/steem-ruby

Our goal is to provide developers with the best tools in crypto, which now includes Rubyists.
