Propryo is a slight twist of the French word “proprio”, which means “home owner”. My sister is trying to explore a few business ideas and we built together this little website where home owners advertise their properties for sale. Propryo is nothing close to a trading platform, it’s only there to advertise properties in a simple way.
The latest addition to the properties for sale is the Villa in Calvi which is a great addition as a featured property!
For the techies, it should work on mobile browsers as well as desktops, having used a little bit of fluid and responsive design and built as a sinatra pure ruby application hosted on heroku, using yaml configuration files and photos hosted on flickr.
Any feedback appreciated!
After creating rewriter I received a request at work asking if there was a simple way to test errors views on the front-end code we do at Betfair. As I did not have any real idea at the time, I wrote a dead simple ruby application hosted on my machine to return an HTTP error code, so the front-end would display the correct error messages. It seemed it was a good idea and I improved it by creating kodes.

If you can’t find what you want to know about ruby percent notations ( %w, %q, %r, %x), then have a look over there:

Jim has obviously some other information sources than Google (where trying to search for %w is like trying to find your way in a dense steam room!)
The way to remember things is easy though:
- %w is for White-spaced delimited arrays
- %q works like Quotes
- %r wraps up nicely Regular expressions
- %x simply eXecutes system calls
