The drop in functionality right into the full framework is fantastic. Really like the ability to write API's with much less overhead, which was a factor that came into play for me recently. Nicely done Mr. Otwell.
Agreed, Symfony2 is great, but I see it being used more in an open source project capacity. Working on it at a company where time frames are key, rapid development is huge. Plus, laravel is far more intuitive and I can ramp up new team members much faster.
Thanks for writing this Gem, looks absolutely awesome. I hope Ginger Proofreader keeps their API up also, but I will definitely write some tests in my app to make sure it's working. I noticed in your gem you are using your API key, and I'm not sure about their rate limits, but it would probably be in everyones best interest to get their own key.
Love it, Austin is such a great tech bubble right now, this will just continue the trend for a long while, they picked a great spot to do this (mainly because I live in Austin, lol)
@brettcvz, you guys need to validate your email input for empty strings when signing up for a dev key. On the project note, looks very promising, keep up the good work.
