Captor: A Capistrano GUI
Here’s an idea I’ve been playing with today: Captor, a GUI for Capistrano management. It’s a very rough prototype right now.
Goals:
- Make running tasks across multiple projects easier
- Interpret the output from Capistrano graphically so it’s easier to understand
- Secondary: Provide a wizard–like interface for creating Capistrano files, with recipe management and configuration
Caveats:
- The prototype is messy because I can’t get Shoes to load net/ssh (I get openssl errors), so I’m using drb to communicate with cap
- There’s no project settings management yet, but that will be easy to add
- The interface isn’t cool enough yet
