Shadow is an awesome little project that gives you a tiny, zero-config REST server for your database. Just pure GET PUT POST DELETE, nothing more, nothing less. Uses mongrel for the net and AR for the db – you’ll need to point it at your database.yml.
But it didn’t do UTF8 out of the box, so let’s change that:

$ diff shadow-old.rb shadow.rb 5a6 > require 'Ya2YAML' 12a14 > $KCODE='u' 42c44 < out.write obj.to_yaml --- > out.write obj.ya2yaml $ |

I really love this kind of thing. Rails is becoming a MONSTER and is a bitch to force to play with anything else on your server(s). I think we’ll see a lot more of this kind of thing – a breaking-out of small pieces of very nice Rails functionality, into a way that makes them play nicer in a team.
