Create your custom social summary in seconds

Socialoud is a ruby gem created to allow easy setup for your custom social summary, that updates automatically, keeping your custom look and feel, because we are free, isn’t it?

Deploy it in seconds

Take a look how simple is to setup your custom social summary, like this live example.

On your own server

You just need to clone the socialoud-default repository at Github.

$ git clone git://github.com/endel/socialoud-default.git
$ bundle install
$ thin start

And it’s done. Go to http://localhost:3000 and it will be there. You should now customize your configuration file, HTML and CSS.

Configuration file is simple like this:

Deploy on heroku

On the same directory that you cloned the default app repository, do the following.

$ heroku create my-awesome-social-summary
$ git remote add heroku git@heroku.com:my-awesome-social-summary.git
$ git add .
$ git push heroku master

The default app already caches the single-page result for a while. It is extremely recommended that you keep caching, or just change the interval, because of heavy requests for social services.
