I want to data mine dribbble.com so I can make an app that registers when the best time is to upload a shot to dribbble is. I’ve seen someone do it for stories on news.ycombinator.com/ (Hacker News): http://hnpickup.appspot.com/.
I don’t really know where to start since I’m still fairly new to RoR. I hope you can give me some pointers.
I’d like to run the app on Heroku, if that matters.
I ended up using Heroku scheduler to scrape dribbble, using their own API.
