Injour

An evolution of the In/Out app which 37Signals uses. A distributed In/Out, if you will.

For more on what In/Out is, check out the original post:

Installation from GitHub Gems

sudo gem install dnssd
sudo gem install arunthampi-injour --source=http://gems.github.com

Installation from Source (More reliable)

sudo gem install dnssd
git clone git://github.com/arunthampi/injour.git
cd injour
rake install

Useful bash aliases the author recommends

# To be put in your ~/.bash_profile
alias ise='injour serve &'
alias ist='injour st'
alias ils='injour ls'

Usage

alice$ injour serve                       # Starts up publishing your statuses
alice$ injour status Testing out injour   # Sets your status as injour ['st' is an alias for 'status']
bob$ injour list                          # Finds alice ['ls' is an alias for 'list']
bob$ injour show alice                    # Shows alice's last 5 updates

Prefix the cmds with “sudo” as necessary.

Inspiration

Inspiration is a polite word for copy. This lib has copied vast amounts of code from the insanely awesome gemjour and pastejour projects. In any case, I conveniently believe in the quote ‘Good artists copy, great artists steal, real artists ship’ ;)

The author would also like to thank Dr. Nic for his inspirational blog-post which set the wheels in motion.
