High Quality Ruby on Rails Example Applications

I'm the principal author of one of these example apps (Insoshi, a social networking platform developed as part of YC Winter '08). It's a bit out of date (running on Rails 2.2), but still quite decent. I'm currently working on a Rails tutorial book that will include a fully up-to-date and (I hope) high-quality sample Rails app; keep an eye on http://www.railstutorial.org/ for more details. You should follow the project on Twitter at http://twitter.com/railstutorial for all the latest news. Note: some major announcements are coming soon. :-)

These are all pretty good examples.

That being said, I recently spent some time reading through the source of both Gemcutter.org and RailsDevelopment.com and found both to be very educational to me personally:

Aww, thanks :)

These look great. Anyone know any similar examples for Django?

Everyblock is a bit complex.

Nathan Borror's Basic Apps are pretty solid examples:

Maybe EveryBlock (considering the source)?

Depending on the audience, maybe. I've not looked at the code, but I know it has some very specific design assumptions and a number of weird corner cases baked in which might not make it a good general-purpose example.

It's nice to see some more complex examples with a summary of the plugins and related technologies.

But mainly I'm commenting to be able to find this easily later. It's a shame HN doesn't have a save link option.

I believe simply up voting moves it into your Saved list.

Oh - thanks. I never noticed.

Has anyone used spreecommerce?
