Insoshi or LovdByLess

3 points by vivekamn 18y ago ↗ HN

For starting a social networking site based on rails these two seem to the options:

LovdByLess(www.lovdbyless) Insoshi(www.insoshi.com)

Has anybody done a comparison(features, code quality, momentum behind the project, etc)?

I'm also interested to know more about this. Fwiw, Insoshi has a full-time team behind it, whereas Lovdbyless appears to be more of a side project.

You should consider ning. It is being developed by very serious people and is backed by a lot of money.

But, frankly, I would suck it up and code the thing myself. I don't think these shortcuts are mature enough to actually save much time.

Most importantly, I think building the whole application to suit your vision will yield a better product than fitting your vision into those frameworks.
