Case Studies

ParkerFox is always keen to investigate new trends and technology. Our labs section presents a showcase of some of the software that have been created as research into new products, libraries used to simplify our own development processes or just made for our own enjoyment!

ruby:search

Ruby:search is a simple application that allows the user to search Ruby and Ruby on Rails documentation from online resources. It is designed to be as easy to use as possible. Try it out here.

Saucy is a framework for automatic replacement of text and design elements with images, rendered by a server-side ruby script using RMagick. Extended CSS types, such as ttf-font, can be applied to elements and replacement is performed by Javascript. This method allows for gracefully degrading content. Currently supported renderers are ttf-fonts, curved corners, gradients with textures, dropshadows and rotations.

For more information, demos and the source code, see here. If you would like to contribute to this project please get in contact.

Coming soon: Liquid curved corners
