Standalone / Browser build

[bolandrm]

Would it be possible to have a standalone build of inky, similar to https://github.com/Daniel15/babel-standalone ?

I'd like to create a rails plugin to use inky within the asset pipeline.

I might be able to implement this myself if someone could outline where to start and/or generally how to accomplish it.

We'd definitely be open to a standalone build; I can take a look at pulling together some resources on how to get it to happen.

That said, an implementation of inky in ruby (inky-rb) is in progress, with the intent that you could use it directly in the rails pipeline without any need to pull in a javascript runtime. That should be available in the order of the next month... would you be interested in being part of the early testing? And knowing this, are you still interested in developing a standalone build?

@kball thanks for the reply! Yes, I'd like to be part of the early testing of the Ruby version, and given that I would not need the standalone JS build.

@kball Is the Ruby version in a place where it can be published for testing or contributions?

[kball]

I will get it there on Friday

@kball I would also be interested in helping test and contribute to the ruby version.

Just FYI, I've got a Perl port at https://github.com/mfontani/p5-Inky

@kball I'm also interested in using/testing/contributing to inky-rb.

Awesome! We're getting close to releasing the RB version. We're looking to get a first version out before the 2.2 release which is early June. We'll need people to help test and suggest updates when it's out. We'll post back here!

Just following up here:
Invites to the Ruby version of Inky have been sent!

It's the Inky-rb repo. You'll find the Ruby Gem of Foundation for Emails here: https://github.com/zurb/foundation-emails/tree/ruby-gem-setup

We'd love any feedback you have on the setup or usage!

@mfontani Awesome! We're adding your resource to our site http://foundation.zurb.com/emails/resources.html which gets 30k visitors a day! Well done!

@rafibomb the link you posted to the ruby gem setup does not work

I know this issue is mostly about ruby, but since this issue mentions a browser build, I wanted to point the googlers over here: #67
