Project

I wanted to include my own quotes on various topics on my websites and was looking for a quote service where I could set up my own collection of quotes and retrieve them by topic. I couldn't find such a service, so in 2006 I set up my own database with a query script. Now I have written this web application for managing the quotes in the database and launched it online on September 1, 2007.

Technical

The project is implemented with the web framework Ruby on Rails. The application is open-source software and is managed at https://github.com/muhme/quote.

If you found a bug or have a feature request, please open a GitHub ticket.
