Pollex generates thumbnails for items stored on CloudApp. It's a thin client that at its heart is a simple Sinatra app which pings the CloudApp API for its details, and renders a thumbnail or icon according to the type of drop.
Pollex's needs are basic:
- Ruby 1.9.3 - If using RVM, then...
rvm install 1.9.3 - Bundler
- An Event Machine based web server such as Thin
- ImageMagick - If using Homebrew...
brew install imagemagick
